Roasted Swordfish presents a multitude of meal options for savvy and beginner cooks alike. I chose a personal favorite for this recipe, adding homemade olive tapenade to this delicious fish. Enjoy!

 

Swordfish is a wonderfully dense and firm white fish that’s easy to prepare because it absorbs the seasonings and flavorings perfectly. That means you can have fun with your meals, which is exactly what I did when adding my homemade olive tapenade and tomatoes.

I love to pan sear and grill my swordfish, but roasted swordfish is my personal favorite. It’s so versatile! In this recipe I combine swordfish with another favorite, homemade olive tapenade. The dish is completed with petite tomatoes on top. Simply delicious!
