Ingredients

• 4 pieces Swordfish steaks
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup Kalamata olives
• 2 tablespoons Capers
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the fish from sticking.

Step 2

Pat the swordfish steaks dry with paper towels. Rub each steak with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Mince the garlic. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Roughly chop the kalamata olives. Rinse and drain the capers. Chop the parsley and basil leaves.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they soften and begin to release their juices.

Step 6

Stir in the olives, capers, parsley, and basil. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat. Stir in the lemon juice and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Step 7

Place the swordfish steaks on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steaks. The fish should be opaque and firm to the touch when done.

Step 8

Transfer the grilled swordfish to serving plates. Spoon the Sicilian-style sauce over the top of each steak.

Step 9

Serve immediately with a side of steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or crusty bread to complete the meal.
