Method

Flatten the swordfish slices between sheets of cling film using a meat cleaver.

Divide filling into 8 small sausage shapes, roll into the swordfish slices, and secure with sticks.

Fry the rolls in oil until golden brown and evenly cooked.

Pulse the filling ingredients in a food processor until the mixture is fluffy.

Mix the fennel, onion, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil to make the salsa.

Serve the rolls over the salsa and garnish with saffron, fennel leaves, and tomatoes.
