Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2teaspoons1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
1 1/2teaspoons1 1/2 teaspoons dried marjoram or dried oregano
1 1/2teaspoons1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2teaspoons2 teaspoons salt
1teaspoon1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
22 (6- to 8-ounce) swordfish steaks, skinless, about 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick
1/4cup1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided

Steps:

Combine thyme, marjoram, cayenne, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Heat a heavy skillet over high heat until it is very hot. Coat the swordfish on both sides with half the olive oil and then pat one side with the herb mixture. With the heat still on high, place swordfish steaks in skillet, herb side down (they will smoke quite a bit) and cook 2 minutes. Place a second non-stick skillet over medium heat that contains the remaining half of olive oil. Turn the swordfish steaks over into the second skillet and cook for 2 to 6 minutes more, depending on thickness.
