Swordfish with Mediterranean Tomato Sauce and Linguini

  • 3 cups vine-ripened plum (Roma) tomatoes, cored and cut into thin wedges

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 Tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano leaves, or 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 Tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

  • 1 Tablespoon minced garlic

  • ¼ cup (1 small) minced red onion

  • 2 Tablespoons rinsed, drained, and roughly chopped capers

  • ½ cup roasted red or yellow bell peppers, coarsely chopped

  • 12 pitted and sliced Greek olives (such as kalamata or Gaeta olives)

  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 2 Tablespoons pepper olive oil or ½ teaspoon dried chili flakes

  • 6 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • ½ pound dried linguini

  • 4 (6-ounce) swordfish steaks

  • Put tomatoes in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add oregano, parsley, garlic, onion, capers, peppers, olives, lemon juice, pepper oil, and 4 Tablespoons of the extra-virgin olive oil. Stir gently just to mix and set aside at least 1 hour. Adjust seasonings, if desired. Mixture will become more liquid and sauce-like over time. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook linguini until al dente. Drain and toss with remaining 2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Reserve. Cook the fish for 15 minutes. Place small pile of linguini in each of the bowls. Top with a spoonful of tomato sauce, making sure to moisten the linguini with the juices. Lay a piece of fish on top and arrange with another spoonful of sauce. Moisten again with juices from the sauce and season with salt and pepper.
