  1. FLUFFY COUSCOUS

    Boil the kettle. Place the couscous in a bowl with 75ml of boiling water. Stir through a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Cover and steam until rehydrated, 5-8 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

  2. SALTY TAPENADE

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the chopped tomato and cook until softened, 2-3 minutes. Mix through ½ the chopped oregano, the sliced olives, a drizzle of olive oil, seasoning, a sweetener, and the chopped capers until heated and combined, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. ADD THE CUCS

    Add the diced cucumber to the bowl of couscous and toss together with ½ the lemon juice (to taste). Set aside.

  4. FRY THE FISH

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the swordfish dry with paper towel. Place the paprika flour into a shallow bowl and lightly season. Coat the fish in the paprika flour. When hot, fry the fish until golden, 3-4 minutes per side. In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and season.

  5. WHAT A PLATE!

    Plate up the cucumber couscous and top with the crispy fish. Top the fish with the tapenade and drizzle with the remaining lemon juice. Garnish it all with the remaining oregano. Dive in, Chef!
