6

While the fish is cooking, put half of the tomato paste mixture onto a sheet pan and bake in a 350°F oven for about 7 minutes.

7

Put the remaining half tomato paste mixture on the plate followed by each one of the sword fish fillets. Garnish with the slice from the remaining lemon.

8

Serve with a side dish such as white rice or attieke.
