  1. MAKE THE MASH

    Place the potato pieces in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk (optional). Mash with a fork, season, and cover.

  2. TOAST THE ALMONDS

    Place the chopped almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. CHAR THE CORN

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the corn until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  4. DO THE DRIZZLE

    In a small bowl, combine the mayo, the curry powder (to taste), a squeeze of lemon juice, and seasoning. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Set aside.

  5. FRESH SALAD

    In a salad bowl, toss together the shredded leaves, the diced cucumber, the charred corn, ½ the toasted nuts, a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.

  6. FRY THE FISH

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the swordfish dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the fish until golden, 3-4 minutes per side. In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter and the Cape Bay spice. Remove from the pan, reserving any pan juices, and season.

  7. TIME TO DINE

    Serve up the creamy mash and top with the golden swordfish. Drizzle with any reserved pan juices and the curried mayo sauce. Side with the corn & cucumber salad and finish with sprinklings of the remaining nuts. Serve any remaining lemon wedges on the side. Dive in, Chef!
