• Reduce heat to medium; wipe any blackened bits from bottom of skillet with a paper towel. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil, bell peppers, onion, and basil sprigs; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are golden and tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Add vinegar; cook until reduced by half, about 30 seconds. Add tomato sauce, accumulated juices from steak, and 1/3 cup water. Simmer, stirring a few times, until reduced and thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove and discard basil.

PEPPER & LEMON SWORDFISH STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees, or prepare the grill.
• Place each piece of fish on the center of 4 double layers of foil.
• Top each evenly with lemons, onion, rosemary, thyme, pepper, and salt.
• Make packets by bringing the 2 sides of the foil up to meet in the center and folding edges over, then folding the edges of each together.
• Allowing room for the packets to expand, crimp the edges.
• If baking, place the packets on a baking sheet.
• Bake or grill until the fish is opaque, 10-12 minutes.
• Open packets carefully when testing for doneness, as steam will escape.

SHEET-PAN ROASTED FISH WITH SWEET PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Pull 1 tablespoon thyme leaves off the bunch and finely chop.

• Spread peppers on a rimmed sheet pan, and toss with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the black pepper to taste. Top peppers with the remaining thyme sprigs. Roast, tossing occasionally, until peppers are softened and golden at the edges, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Increase oven temperature to 500 degrees. Push peppers to the edges of the pan, clearing a space in the center. Lay fish out on that empty space and drizzle with oil. Scatter olives over the top of fish and peppers. Roast until fish turns opaque and is just cooked through, 6 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make a vinaigrette by combining vinegar, garlic and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, then whisk in parsley. Taste and add more salt or vinegar, or both, if needed. Serve fish and peppers drizzled with vinaigrette.
