Ingredients:

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
3 garlic cloves, crushed with the side of a knife
six 1-inch-thick swordfish steaks (6 to 8 ounces each)
1 1/4 cups Black Olive Tapenade
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves plus parsley sprigs for garnish

Directions:

Stir together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and garlic in a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold the swordfish in a single layer. Add the swordfish steaks, turn them in the marinade, and let them marinate, covered, at room temperature, turning once, for 30 minutes.
Prepare a moderately hot charcoal fire. Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade and grill them over gray, ashy coals for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until they are just cooked through. Transfer the swordfish to a platter. Slather the swordfish with the tapenade, sprinkle with the minced parsley, and garnish with the parsley sprigs.
