Squeeze the lemon juice into a bowl and add the olive oil. |
2. |
Season with salt and pepper and stir in the fresh, chopped basil leaves. |
3. |
Heat a frying pan until very hot and season your swordfish (or tuna, cod, etc) with salt and pepper. |
4. |
Place in the pan and cook for around a minute on each side until golden. This will leave the fish slightly pink in the middle, so if you don't like the idea of this, feel free to cook it a bit more. |
5. |
Divide the fish between your serving plates and spoon the sauce over the top. |

Note: based on a variation of a Jamie Oliver dish. |
