2 Swordfish steaks
Mixed seeds (such as sesame, flax, sunflower, pumpkin), to taste
A pinch of salt
3 tablespoons olive oil + extra for drizzling

Method

Spread the mixed seeds on a shallow plate. Lightly rub the swordfish steaks with olive oil, then press each side into the seeds until well coated.

Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over low heat. Cook the swordfish steaks for about 2 minutes per side, just until golden and cooked through.
