This dish combines mild swordfish with a rich miso-mayo-cheese topping, all baked in the toaster oven.
Even kids and those who usually avoid fish will find this one delicious!
No frying, no flipping—just mix the topping, spread, and bake.
It's a go-to dish for busy nights, and a great way to introduce more fish into your diet.

Tips & Notes
If using a fish grill instead of a toaster oven, pre-grill one side of the fish, flip it, then add the miso-mayo-cheese topping and grill until golden.
Works great with other mild white fish like cod or halibut.
For 2 servings:
Use half the quantities: 2 swordfish steaks (200 g), 1 ½ tbsp. mayo, 1 ½ tsp. miso, 1 tsp. sugar, and ¼ cup cheese.
