Drain and roughly slice the mixed olives. 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.
LOAD WITH FLAVOUR
Add the diced Cucumber to the bowl of Couscous and toss together with ½ the lemon juice (to taste). Set aside.
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.
