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.
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.
ADD THE CUCS
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.
