Salty-sweet combinations, like the oranges and olives in this recipe, are common in many Sicilian dishes. They add a fabulous, complex flavor to the mix!
 

Ingredients

3 oz French bread, cut into twelve 1/4-inch-thick slices   
4 spray(s) olive oil cooking spray, divided   
1 large garlic clove(s), cut in half   
1/2 tsp dried oregano, divided   
1 1/2 pound(s) swordfish fillet(s), four 6 oz pieces (or two 12 oz fillets cut in half)   
3/4 tsp table salt, divided   
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, divided   
3 Tbsp orange juice   
2 Tbsp olive oil   
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar   
3 medium orange(s), navel, peel and white pith removed, halved, sliced   
5 oz arugula, baby leaves   
1/2 cup(s) red onion(s), thinly sliced   
8 medium olive(s), calamata, pitted and sliced (about 1/4 cup)   

Instructions

  • Preheat an outdoor grill, or a ridged stove-top grill pan or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, coat bread slices with cooking spray.

  • Place bread on grill or pan. Cook, turning twice, until lightly toasted, about 4 minutes. Remove bread from pan and rub one side of each slice with garlic; crumble 1/4 teaspoon of oregano over toasted bread slices.

  • Coat swordfish with cooking spray and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper; grill or cook, turning once, until just cooked through, about 6 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together orange juice, oil, vinegar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of pepper and oregano; remove and reserve 2 tablespoons of dressing.

  • Add oranges, arugula, onion and unreserved dressing to bowl; toss to coat.

  • To assemble salads, place 2 cups of salad mixture on each of 4 plates; top each with a swordfish fillet (about 4 1/2 ounces). Drizzle each fillet with 1 1/2 teaspoons of reserved dressing; sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of sliced olives. Place 3 pieces of toast on each plate.

Notes

  • When fresh fennel is in season, slice some up, toss it in and garnish each serving with the fennel fronds. You can substitute halibut for the swordfish if you prefer.
