INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the mango sauce:

  • Add the mango pieces, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Blend with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy.

Prepare the filling:

  • Cut the bread into cubes and place in a blender.
  • Add fresh basil leaves (reserve some small ones for garnish), lemon zest, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Blend until you obtain fine, uniform crumbs.

Assemble the rolls:

  • Lay out the swordfish slices and place a spoonful of the breadcrumb mixture in the center of each.
  • Fold the longer sides inward and roll up from the bottom to form a roll.

Cook the rolls:

  • Heat a non-stick skillet with a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Place the rolls seam-side down and cook over medium-high heat for about 1 minute to seal.
  • Gently turn the rolls until all sides are evenly browned, about 2–3 minutes in total.

Serve:

  • Transfer the cooked rolls to a serving plate.
  • Drizzle with the mango sauce and garnish with the reserved basil leaves.
