In a large bowl or shallow dish, combine the white wine, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary sprigs, salt, and black pepper.
Place the swordfish steaks in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Remove the swordfish from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the remaining marinade.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
Once the butter is melted and starts to foam, add the swordfish steaks to the skillet. Sear each side for 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Transfer the swordfish to a plate and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh rosemary and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
