Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pat-dry the swordfish filets with paper towels and then season with black pepper.
In a large, cast iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Once oil is hot, add the swordfish filets to the pan and brown on each side, about 3 minutes.
Bake the fish for about 7 to 9 minutes until it’s golden and cooked all the way through (should be white in the center). Make sure to not over cook.
While the fish is baking, add the vegan butter, onion, garlic, parsley, lemon, lemon peel, black pepper and sea salt to a pan on medium heat. Once it is melted and bubbly, keep on low heat until the fish is done.
Serve the fish immediately and pour the lemon garlic mixture over it. Enjoy with one of my favorite sides!
