I followed the instructions explicitly, with fresh herbs but canned tomatoes. It was a simple and good dinner, and we enjoyed it, but I suspect some palates will prefer going lighter on the thyme.

Quite tasty. No shallots so had to make do with onion and used high-quality packaged tomatoes from pantry. Decent substitutions. Fresh herbs from garden though! Felt fresh and healthy.

I’m a novice cook. Should the swordfish should be refrigerated when marinated or left out at room temperature while marinating? I was concerned about spoilage if left at room temperature, please advise. Thank you.

I added olive oil to the fish as someone else suggested and it went up in smoke. Don’t recommend doing that!

And dried basil!
