4 (6-ounce) swordfish steaks, about 0.75-inch thick
salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 shallot, minced
12-ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup crème fraîche
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped

Steps:

Pat fish dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Cook fish until golden brown and the thickest part of the fish registers 140°F, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer fish to platter and tent loosely with foil. Add shallot to now-empty skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook until just softened, about 1 minute. Stir in crème fraîche, mustard, and capers and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Top fish with sauce, sprinkle with tarragon, and serve.
