Steps

1

2
Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes until fish is opaque throughout and reaches 145°F.

While fish cooks, toss cherry tomatoes, olives, capers, and basil with a drizzle of olive oil.
4
Top swordfish with the Mediterranean relish.
5
Finish with a squeeze of lemon and serve.

💡

Tip: Swordfish is one of the meatiest, most forgiving fish to cook — it won't fall apart like more delicate fillets. It's best medium (140-145°F); overcooked swordfish gets dry. The Mediterranean relish adds brightness and acidity.
