Ingredients
Scale
- 2 swordfish steaks (1-inch thick)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup long-grain rice (such as basmati or jasmine)

Instructions
- For the Herbed Rice: In a medium saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Add rice and cover; reduce heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes until tender.
- For the Swordfish: While the rice cooks, melt unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Season swordfish steaks with salt and pepper. Place them in the skillet with garlic butter and cook for about three minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the swordfish while still in the skillet.
- Final Steps: Once rice is done, fluff it with a fork and stir in chopped parsley and dill for added flavor. Serve swordfish alongside herbed rice. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
