- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil grate. Toast pine nuts in a dry small skillet over medium heat, shaking often, until golden, about 4 minutes. Let cool and set aside for serving.
- Pat swordfish dry and season all over with salt and pepper. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and let sit at room temperature 15 minutes.

Season with more salt and pepper. Pour reserved marinade over and let sit at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour. To serve, scatter reserved pine nuts over.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Rub the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper; place skin-side down in the dish.
- Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until softened, about 30 seconds. Add 1/2 teaspoon oregano and the bay leaves and stir to combine. Add the tomatoes, olives, capers and a pinch of salt and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
- Pour the tomato mixture all over the fish. Bake until the fish is cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch; season with salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a steady simmer and cook until very tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon oregano; season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the fish among plates. Spoon the tomato mixture over the top and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve with the potatoes.

PAN-SEARED SWORDFISH WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES, AND CAPERS
Steps:
- Put the oil in a deep skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the fish and brown it well, rotating and turning it as necessary and sprinkling it with salt and pepper; the process should take less than 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and remove the fish.
- Turn the heat to medium and add the garlic, capers, chiles, and olives. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about a minute; add the tomatoes and bring to a boil. Gently slide the fish into the sauce and cook, turning once, until it is tender, about 5 minutes more. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary, then garnish and serve.

Steps:
- Pat four 4-6-oz. swordfish steaks (1"-1½" thick) dry with paper towels, then coat with 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil. Season both sides with kosher salt; set aside while you make the dressing.
- Using a sharp chef's knife, trim ends from 1 large lemon; slice into thick rounds and remove seeds. Very finely chop lemon rounds (peel, pith, and flesh) and transfer to a small bowl. (Alternatively, you can pulse in a food processor.) Mix in 5 sprigs oregano, thyme, or marjoram, leaves picked, finely chopped, 2 garlic cloves, finely grated, 1 Tbsp. capers (not drained), 2 tsp. ground coriander, 1 tsp. sugar, and ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir in 6 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. extra-virgin olive oil. Season with freshly ground black pepper and more salt if needed.
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Place reserved swordfish steaks on grill; cover and grill fish, turning once, until flesh is opaque and just cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part should register 130°F for medium-rare) and steaks release easily from grate, 3-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter.
- Spoon some dressing over swordfish and serve with remaining dressing alongside. Do ahead: Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.
Tips:
- To ensure the swordfish remains moist, avoid overcooking it. The best way to check for doneness is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet; it should flake easily.
- If you don't have capers on hand, you can substitute green olives or chopped pickles.
- Fresh tomatoes are best for this recipe, but you can use canned diced tomatoes if necessary. If using canned tomatoes, be sure to drain them well before adding them to the pan.
- Fresh herbs such as basil, oregano, or thyme will add a delicious flavor to this dish. Add them towards the end of cooking so they don't lose their flavor.
- Serve this dish with a side of rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
Swordfish with tomatoes and capers is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The swordfish is cooked to perfection and the tomatoes and capers add a bright and flavorful sauce. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
