Ingredients

Swordfish is a robust fish that lends itself well to grilling, but for this recipe, working on a pan allows you to meld the flavors of the vegetables with the fish for a dish that is absolute perfection. If you can't find swordfish at your local market, tuna steaks make a good alternative.
4 (6-8 oz.) swordfish steaks
1/4 t. kosher salt
1/4 t. pepper
1/2 t. red chile flakes
2 T. olive oil
2 shallots, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c. white wine
1 c. cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1/3 c. pitted black olives
1/2 t. dried oregano
1/3 c. toasted pine nuts
5-6 lg. basil leaves, coarsely chopped
Lemon wedges
