Instructions

1. Prepare the Jerusalem Artichoke Puree
   Start by peeling the Jerusalem artichokes, then slice them into thin rounds. In a large frying pan, heat a little olive oil and sauté the garlic with a sprig of fresh parsley. Once fragrant, add the sliced Jerusalem artichokes to the pan and cook them until they become soft and tender.
   Once cooked, transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree it until smooth. Set aside and keep warm.

2. Make the Herb Crust
   Next, prepare the fresh herbs for the crust. Finely chop the fresh thyme, mint, and parsley, then add the pickled capers and walnuts. Use a food processor to blend all the ingredients into a fine mixture. Add the lemon zest for a zesty note and blend again to combine.

3. Prepare the Swordfish
   Lightly brush both sides of the swordfish steaks with extra virgin olive oil. Press each steak into the herb and nut mixture, ensuring that it is evenly coated. Gently massage the crust into the fish to ensure it sticks.

4. Cook the Swordfish
   Heat a large, heavy pan over medium-high heat. Once it is hot, carefully place each swordfish steak into the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside.

5. Assemble and Serve
   To serve, plate a generous spoonful of the Jerusalem artichoke puree on each plate. Top with the herb-crusted swordfish steaks. Garnish with extra fresh parsley and a dash of black pepper, if desired.
   Serve immediately while hot for a delightful, aromatic main dish.
