Ingredients
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (Japanese bread crumbs)

- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons light olive oil
- 1 lemon, juice of
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cups lightly packed arugula
- 1 bunch watercress, stemmed
Directions
- Place the panko in a pie dish.

- Line a large cutting board with plastic wrap.
- Place 2 swordfish steaks on plastic wrap, about 2 inches apart.

- Remove top plastic wrap and sprinkle the swordfish with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Set aside the swordfish steaks and flatten and season remaining 2 steaks, using the plastic wrap to help again.
