Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pound swordfish gently between plastic wrap until 1/4-inch thin, being careful not to tear.

  2. Step 2

    Mix breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Divide filling between swordfish pieces, roll tightly, and secure each with a toothpick.

  4. Step 4

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Sear involtini 3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

  5. Step 5

    Pour wine and lemon juice into the pan. Add cherry tomatoes and simmer 2 minutes until sauce reduces slightly.

  6. Step 6

    Slide involtini onto plates, spoon tomatoes and sauce over top, and serve immediately.
