(Allow the swordfish to stand at room temperature while preparing the recipe.) In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, celery seed, and kosher salt . Pat the swordfish dry and sprinkle all sides with the seasoning.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the fillets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until browned and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.

Remove the swordfish steaks to a plate and reduce temperature to very low. Add the butter, garlic, and capers, and cook until garlic is lightly browned, scraping the bottom of the pan while it cooks.
