  1. READY THE RICE

    Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 300ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and steam for 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.

  2. FRESH START

    In a bowl, combine the halved olives, diced tomato, crumbled feta, diced cucumber, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning.

  3. FANCY FISH

    Pat the swordfish fillet dry with some paper towel. Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the fish on one side for 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden. Flip, and add a knob of butter. Fry for a further 3-4 minutes until cooked through and browned. (If your particular fillet is thicker than 2cm, fry for an extra 1 minute per side.) Remove from the pan on completion. Season to taste.

  4. RIGHT AT ITS SAUCE

    Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, add the grated garlic and fry for 1 minute, until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the Dijon mustard, a squeeze of lemon juice, and 2ml of water. Reduce the heat and leave to simmer for 1-2 minutes, until slightly reduced. Pour in the cream and leave to simmer for a further 1-2 minutes, until slightly reduced.

  5. DINNER IS SERVED!

    Dish up a heaping helping of the nutty brown rice. Top with the perfectly cooked swordfish, spoon over the creamy sauce, and side with the fresh salad. Garnish with the chopped parsley and serve any remaining lemon wedges alongside. Delish, Chef!
