Ingredients: 2 swordfish steaks (1¼ inches thick, 6–7 oz each); 1 large eggplant, cubed (½-inch pieces); 1 pint cherry tomatoes; ¼ cup Castelvetrano olives, pitted and halved; 2 tablespoons capers, drained; 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced; ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil (divided); 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; ¼ teaspoon sea salt; Black pepper; 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (for searing fish); ¼ cup burnt chili oil (or 3 tablespoons olive oil + 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes + 1 dried red chili, toasted until nearly blackened, then infused); 2 cups sourdough bread, cubed (½-inch); 1 tablespoon butter; Fresh mint leaves, torn; Fleur de sel

A thick-cut swordfish steak, seared until golden and just medium-rare at the center, rests atop a warm and silky eggplant caponata studded with roasted tomatoes, olives, and capers. A fierce burnt chili oil drapes across the plate, balanced by crispy sourdough croutons and fresh mint. Sophisticated, substantial, and screaming Mediterranean technique.
