Recipe View Serve the swordfish steaks immediately, spooning the flavorful sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

For a richer flavor, consider using sun-dried tomatoes in oil in addition to, or in place of, the fresh tomatoes. Drain the sun-dried tomatoes well and chop them before adding them to the sauce.
Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant, watching carefully to prevent burning. Alternatively, toast them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
The baking time will vary depending on the thickness of the swordfish steaks. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the swordfish is cooked to the proper internal temperature.
Serve with a side of couscous, quinoa, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. A crisp white wine, such as Pinot Grigio or Vermentino, pairs perfectly with this dish.

    I couldn't find Castelvetrano olives, so I used Kalamata. It was still very good, but next time I'll try to find the right olives.

  • Marco Gutkowski

    I added a splash of white wine to the sauce for extra depth. Delicious!
