Swordfish Siciliana

Swordfish is usually prepared on special occasions and it is usually served to impress the guests. This sweet-savory sauce with olives, raisins and almonds is not only unique but is delicious in their own way. If you do not get sword fish in your area then you can use tuna in place of swordfish. If you use Tuna then you should serve it with orzo mixed with toasted pine nuts and fresh chopped basil leave.
