- then drain and set aside.
- Make the gremolata by mixing together the lemon zest

- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy-based frying pan. When the pan is very hot
- add the swordfish steaks and fry for 3–4 minutes on each side.
- Remove from the pan and leave to rest while you finish the sauce. Deglaze the pan with the white wine
- then add the butter. Swirl until the butter has melted
- then add the blanched broad beans. Heat through.
- Serve the swordfish with the sauce spooned over and the gremolata on the side.
