Steps
- 1
Pat swordfish dry. Brush with olive oil. Season with oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- 2
Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes until fish is opaque throughout and reaches 145°F.
- 3
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.
