1 Prepare the Ingredients
Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry. Halve cherry tomatoes. Halve lemon. Zest one half for garnish. Cut parsley into strips. Stack basil leaves and roll into a cylinder, slice across the length of the roll, creating very thin strips (chiffonade). Mince garlic. Peel and finely dice shallot. Drain capers. Rinse swordfish steaks and pat dry.
-
2 Prepare the Relish
Place tomatoes, garlic to taste, shallot to taste (these can be strong for some), capers, basil, 1 tsp. olive oil, and ½ the parsley (reserving remaining for garnish) in a large mixing bowl. Squeeze in the juice of the lemon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and set aside so flavors can marinate at room temperature.

3 Cook the Swordfish
Warm 2 tsp. olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Season both sides of the swordfish with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add to pan and cook on each side for 5-6 minutes, or until fish is firm, browned, and flaky. Set aside.

4 Plate the Dish
