Process until smooth, about 10 seconds. Add parsley, anchovies, capers, garlic, and salt. Process about 3 pulses. Scrape bowl. Process 2 more pulses, or until finely chopped (but not smooth).

Note : Salsa can be refrigerated in airtight container for up to 2 days and is also excellent with grilled meat.
Wine Recommendation: Tassel Ridge Iowa Marquette Rosé
This recipe for swordfish is simple but flavorful, so I’d want to serve it with a fruity wine with some body. Tassel Ridge Iowa Marquette Rosé is my choice. Iowa Marquette Rosé is a dry, full-bodied rosé with bright cherry, strawberry, citrus, and peach on the nose and strawberry, raspberry, and cherry on the palate. It is made from Marquette grapes grown in our Mahaska County, Iowa vineyards. Serve chilled.— Bob Wersen, Owner, Tassel Ridge Winery
