This is pan-fried swordfish with a stone ground mustard sauce. We usually BBQ our swordfish. My husband prefers his fish plain with just salt and pepper so when I can get him to eat them a different way, its a happy day for me. This is a lovely alternative that even my picky husband will eat. Another treat from Umberto Menghi's Seafood Cookbook.
