To prepare the pan-seared swordfish, first, pat the fish dry with paper towels 1. Wash and dry the bunch of parsley, then chop it finely 2. Squeeze the lemon juice 3, strain it, and set it aside.
In a skillet, heat a drizzle of oil and fry the garlic, whole but without its peel. If you pierce it with a toothpick 4, it will be easier to remove later: it will only serve to flavor the fish during the initial cooking stages. Place the swordfish in the skillet 5 and sear it for one minute on each side. Now deglaze with the white wine 6.
When the alcohol has evaporated, pour in the strained lemon juice 7. Remove the garlic 8. Turn the fish again and continue cooking over medium-low heat. Add a pinch of salt and the parsley 910.
Optionally, add a few lemon slices 11. Let it color for a couple of minutes 12 and serve the pan-seared swordfish hot.
