Pat the swordfish steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is shimmering, sear the swordfish steaks for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives, and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.
Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce the wine slightly.
Stir in the lemon zest, fresh parsley, and a tablespoon of butter. Mix well and let the butter melt to create a silky sauce.
Return the seared swordfish steaks to the skillet, spooning the artichoke and olive mixture over the top. Cook for another 2 minutes to warm the fish through.
Serve the swordfish on plates, topped generously with the artichoke and olive mixture. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
