| 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus more for the dish | 1/2 cup dry white wine | |
| 4 ripe tomatoes, sliced | 4 swordfish steaks (about 6 ounces each), skin removed | |
| 1 lemon, sliced | 1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced | |
| 4 tbsp chopped parsley | 2 teaspoons finely chopped rosemary | |

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Season the swordfish with salt and pepper. Lightly oil a large baking dish. Spread the fennel in the dish and season with salt and pepper.
Place the swordfish in the dish in a single layer. Top with the tomato and lemon. Mix the parsley, mint, rosemary, and thyme together, and sprinkle over the fish. Pour the wine and the oil over the fish. Cover with aluminum foil.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the fish look opaque when flaked with a knife. Serve immediately, with the pan juices.
