    List of Ingredients




    4 swordfish steaks (about 6 oz. each
    and 3/8" thick), skin removed
    Kosher salt and freshly ground black
    pepper, to taste
    1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
    2 cups whole peeled canned tomatoes,
    drained and minced
    1/2 cup large green olives, such as
    cerignola, pitted and roughly
    chopped
    3 tbsp. salt-packed capers, soaked
    and drained
    1/4 tsp. crushed red chile flakes
    2 tbsp. roughly chopped flat-leaf
    parsley
    1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

    Recipe



    1. Season swordfish with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12" skillet over high heat. Working in two batches, add swordfish and cook, flipping once, until golden brown and medium rare, about 3 minutes. Transfer swordfish to a plate, leaving oil in skillet.

    2. Reduce heat to medium; add garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, olives, capers, and chile flakes and cook, stirring, until tomatoes soften and release some of their juices, about 5 minutes. Return swordfish steaks to skillet, nestling them in the sauce, and add parsley and lemon juice; cook until fish is cooked through. To serve, transfer swordfish to a platter and spoon sauce over top.

    SERVES 4
