Steps:
- To make the vinaigrette: In a blender or food processor, puree the pepper, garlic, vinegar, and salt until smooth. Pour in the oils slowly while the motor is running. Add the pepper. Put the vinaigrette in a squeeze bottle. Heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the swordfish for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until cooked through. To serve: Arrange a bundle of haricots verts on each warmed serving plate. Transfer the fish steaks to the plates, leaning the steaks against the haricots verts. Drizzle with a little of the roasted pepper vinaigrette and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Place 4 or 5 oysters into each of 4 individual casseroles. Top with the artichoke dressing. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bread crumbs. Bake until browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with hollandaise sauce over the dressing.
SWORDFISH WITH SWEET AND HOT PEPPERS
A blissful blend of the reliably sweet (bell peppers, cubanelles, peperoncini) and the reliably fiery (Serranos, chile de arbol, Scotch bonnets) creates blissful balance. Here, the sweet peppers are sautéed slowly with onions to intensify their gentle honeyed character. Half of the hot chiles are left raw, sharp and biting to create as much contrast as possible. Eaten altogether, each bite is both hot and sweet, pungent from a touch of garlic, tart from a squeeze of lemon and faintly saline from the swordfish.

Tips:

- When roasting the red peppers, be sure to keep a close eye on them so that they don't burn. You can also roast the peppers ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- If you don't have any fresh basil on hand, you can substitute dried basil. However, be sure to use only 1/4 of the amount of dried basil, as it is more concentrated than fresh basil.
- The roasted red pepper vinaigrette can also be used as a marinade for grilled or roasted chicken or vegetables.
