The dish offers a complex interplay of flavors: the richness of swordfish, the nutty character of fregola, the anise notes of fennel, the bright acidity of orange, and the herbaceous punch of salsa verde.
The swordfish provides a firm, meaty texture with a mild, slightly sweet flavor that is enhanced by grilling. Fregola sarda contributes a toasted, nutty flavor and a unique chewy texture. Fennel lends a subtle anise-like sweetness and crispness. Orange provides a refreshing citrusy counterpoint. Salsa verde adds a vibrant herbaceousness with notes of parsley, mint, capers, garlic and potentially anchovies, lending a salty, savory depth.

Swordfish Cooking Technique
Avoid overcooking the swordfish, as it can become dry and tough. Aim for a medium-rare to medium doneness. Marinating it briefly before grilling can also help retain moisture.
Salsa Verde Preparation
Use fresh, high-quality herbs for the salsa verde. The ratio of herbs can be adjusted to taste. Be sure to chop the herbs finely, and consider using a mortar and pestle for a more authentic texture.
Fregola Sarda Cooking
Cook the fregola al dente, similar to risotto. Toasting the fregola before cooking enhances its nutty flavor. Incorporate seafood stock or vegetable broth to infuse it with flavor.
Orange Segmenting
Supreme the oranges to remove the pith and membranes, which can be bitter. This ensures a cleaner and more flavorful citrus element in the dish.
