    Makes 2 servings (can be doubled)

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 10- to 11-ounce swordfish steak (about 3/4 inch thick), halved
3/4 cup caponata (eggplant relish) from jar or can
4 thin lemon slices
2 6-inch-long French rolls, split horizontally
1 small bunch arugula

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat broiler. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice and 1 teaspoon rosemary in glass pie dish to blend. Sprinkle swordfish with salt and pepper. Add swordfish to marinade and turn to coat. Let stand 10 minutes. Mix remaining 1 teaspoon rosemary into caponata.
