    <h1>Roasted Swordfish with Manzanilla Olives, Cherry
       Tomatoes, and Capers</h1>

    <h2>Ingredients</h2>

    <p>4 six-ounce portions of swordfish, each about
      one inch thick</p>
    <p>1 cup Manzanilla olives</p>
    <p>4 cups of peeled cherry tomatoes in juice</p>
    <p>4 teaspoons capers, rinsed</p>
    <p>2 cloves garlic, sliced</p>
    <p>2 lemons juiced</p>
    <p>1 cup loosely packed parsley leaves</p>
    <p>Olive oil</p>
    <p>Salt and pepper</p>

    <h2>Preparation</h2>

    <h3>The Sauce</h3>
    <p><strong>1.</strong> Heat ¼ cup olive oil in a
      high sided pot over medium heat.</p>
    <p><strong>2.</strong> Peel and slice the garlic
      and add it to the warm oil.</p>
    <p><strong>3.</strong> Sauté until the garlic is
      tender, not browned, then add the tomatoes and
      cook until the tomato liquid has reduce by half,
      about 20 minutes.</p>
    <p><strong>4.</strong> Add the Manzanilla olives,
      capers, the juice of one lemon, parsley, and
      salt and pepper if needed.</p>
    <p><strong>5.</strong> Set aside and keep warm
      until the swordfish is cooked.</p>

    <h3>The Swordfish</h3>
    <p><strong>1.</strong> Season the swordfish with
      salt and pepper.</p>
    <p><strong>2.</strong> Heat a large sauté pan over
      medium high heat and add about 1/4 cup olive oil.
    </p>
    <p><strong>3.</strong> When very hot add the
      swordfish and cook until both sides are golden
      brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.</p>
    <p><strong>4.</strong> Set aside on paper towels
      to absorb any excess oil.</p>

    <h3>To complete</h3>
    <p><strong>1.</strong> As the swordfish comes out
      of the sauté pan, divide the sauce between four
      warm dinner plates.</p>
    <p><strong>2.</strong> Place one piece of fish on
      each plate.</p>
    <p><strong>3.</strong> Squeeze some lemon on each
      piece of fish and serve while hot.</p>

Notes

  1. An h1 tag was used for the title on the page.
  2. The content of the document was divided into two sections: Ingredients and Preparation using h2 tags.
  3. The preparation section was divided into three sections using h3 tags.
  4. A strong tag was used to emphasize each line number.

Not all the tags introduced in the previous tutorial were used because they were not needed – just because there are tags doesn’t mean you have to use them.
