While oven is preheating, coat swordfish steaks with olive oil and salt and pepper.
Heat an oven proof skillet on the stove over a medium high heat and sear swordfish 2-3 minutes on each side.
When fish is finished searing, place pan in the oven and roast for 10 minutes.
In a small mixing bowl, combine butter and herbs de provence using a fork and set aside.
Remove swordfish from oven and set aside on a plate for later.
Return skillet to stove top. Add herb butter mixture and using a wooden spoon, scrape up remaining browned bits from fish. Your skillet handle will be hot so use an oven mitt to avoid burning yourself.
Once butter mixture has melted, pour over swordfish and enjoy.
Notes
If swordfish steaks are not available, you can always sub out for a different type of fish. I also like mahi mahi for this recipe.
