1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)

Sprinkle the swordfish steak with one tablespoon olive oil, thyme and rosemary. Marinate at room temperature for an hour.
Heat remaining olive oil in a frying pan. Soften the shallot with the garlic. Add the olives, anchovies, capers and tomatoes. Add the wine, bring to boil, turn down heat, cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes or until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
