Recipe Details
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 440kcal
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds fresh swordfish
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 large yellow onion, cut into 1½-inch pieces
- 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1½-inch squares
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1½-inch squares
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into 1½-inch squares
- 1 medium garlic clove, chopped
- ¾ cup red wine vinegar
- ½ tablespoon salt (or more to taste)
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon orange zest, julienned
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
- 1 bag mixed salad greens
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the swordfish with 2 tablespoons of oil. Grill the fish until done. Set aside and let cool. Chop into bite-sized pieces and place in a square pyrex pan.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet. Add the onion and sauté for two minutes, then add peppers and garlic and continue cooking for about 3 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in the vinegar and add the seasonings. Cook for 5 more minutes. Adjust salt, as desired. Pour the vinegar/vegetable mixture over the swordfish. Sprinkle capers on top and chill covered, for at least 4 hours.
- Divide the greens between four bowls and spoon the swordfish mixture with vinaigrette over the greens. (You may want to adjust the amount of the vinaigrette. The swordfish mixture is well-marinated, so just spooning it over the greens might be enough for you).
