Ingredients

  • 16 ounce swordfish fillet (2) 8-ounce fillets
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest grated

Instructions

  • Rinse the fish fillets under cool water; blot dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle fish fillets with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish and cook, turning once, until fish is browned on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes per side.
