Arugula Salad
Charred Lemon
Method
Preparing the Swordfish
Season the Swordfish
In a bowl, mix the olive oil, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture onto the swordfish steaks evenly and set aside to marinate for 15-20 minutes.
Preparing the Caponata
Sauté the Vegetables
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until soft. Then add the eggplant, zucchini, and red bell pepper. Cook until tender.
Add Tomatoes and Seasonings
Stir in the diced tomatoes, capers, red wine vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are well combined and the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat.
Roasting the Potatoes
Prepare the Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and chopped rosemary.
Roast the Potatoes
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy, turning halfway through.
Making the Arugula Salad
Prepare the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the Salad
In a large bowl, combine arugula with the dressing. Toss gently to coat the leaves evenly.
