I wasn't able to use swordfish because the store was out of it, so I used rockfish, instead. But, it was still good. I think next time I'll chop some extra olives to sprinkle on the top with the tomatoes.
Mediterranean Swordfish
Grouper makes a terrific substitute, but it will cook more quickly than swordfish. Check to see if it flakes with a fork after 15 to 20 minutes.
