Iconic™ The Stainless Steel 6.5-Quart Smart Air Fryer

Meaty, tender swordfish steaks cook to perfection in the air fryer, developing bold Mediterranean flavors and a lightly crisp exterior while staying juicy inside. Paired with fluffy couscous tossed with air-fried roasted vegetables, this dish is fresh and satisfying. It’s perfect for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.

How To Pick Swordfish

Pick fresh swordfish by selecting steaks with moist, ivory-white or slightly pink flesh and a firm texture that springs back when touched. The bloodline should be bright red, not brown, and the meat should have a mild, oceanic smell rather than a fishy odor. Avoid slimy, grayish, or dry-looking fish.

Ingredient Swaps

You can add your favorite herbs to the salmoriglio sauce and swap swordfish with your favorite fish such as salmon, cod, seabass, or halibut. Swap the couscous with your favorite rice or grain such as quinoa, orzo, or rice but make sure to follow the package instructions for cooking. Swap the eggplant, zucchini, onion, and tomato with your favorite vegetables.

Instructions

Make the Salmoriglio Sauce & Marinate the Swordfish 

  1. Whisk all the salmoriglio sauce ingredients in a medium bowl until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. 
  2. Transfer ⅓ cup of the sauce to a separate container or bag, then add the swordfish steaks and toss to evenly combine. Marinate fish in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Reserve the remaining sauce. 

Cook the Couscous & Prep the Vegetables 

  1. Place the chicken broth into a small pot. Bring mixture to a boil, then turn off the heat. Add the couscous, cover the pot, and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff with a fork. Set couscous aside. 
  2. Toss the eggplant, zucchini, red onion, and tomatoes with extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Set aside. 

Cook the Swordfish 

  1. Insert the crisper plate into the air fryer basket. 
  2. Select the Air Fryer function, adjust the temperature to 450°F and time to 5 minutes, then tap Start/Pause to preheat. 
  3. Remove swordfish steaks from the marinade, then place them onto the preheated crisper plate. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Discard the marinade. 
  4. Select the Air Fry function, adjust the temperature to 450°F and time to 8 minutes, then tap Start/Pause
  5. Flip swordfish steaks over halfway and remove when they are golden and cooked to your desired preference. The thickest portion of the fish should reach an internal temperature of 140°F. 
  6. Transfer swordfish steaks to a plate, brush with salmoriglio sauce, and cover lightly with foil to rest and keep warm. 

Roast the Vegetables 

  1. Transfer the vegetables onto the crisper plate. 
  2. Select the Air Fry function, adjust the temperature to 400°F and time to 12 minutes, then tap Start/Pause
  3. Stir vegetables halfway through cooking. Remove when tender and golden-brown. 
  4. Toss the roasted vegetables with the couscous and the remaining salmoriglio sauce, or as much as you prefer. Serve swordfish steaks with roasted vegetable couscous. 

Chef Notes: The salmoriglio sauce can be made in advance. The roasted vegetable couscous can also be made in advance and reheated before serving.
