Cooking Tips

• Make sure to pat the swordfish fillets dry before coating them with the zaatar mixture to ensure a crispy crust.
• If you don't have zaatar spice blend, you can make your own by combining dried thyme, sesame seeds, sumac, and salt.
• For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the zaatar mixture.

• Leftover zaatar-crusted swordfish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the swordfish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the swordfish with a side of roasted vegetables, couscous, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
