Chef John’s Grilled Swordfish Bruschetta

Ingredients

• 1 cup cherry tomato halves
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons thinly sliced basil
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 6 slices French bread
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 swordfish steaks
• 1 teaspoon grapeseed oil

Directions

Stir tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, basil, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Let sit until flavors blend, at least 30 minutes.

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Brush bread slices with olive oil.

Cook bread slices on the preheated grill until browned and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Brush swordfish steaks with grapeseed oil and season with salt and black pepper.

Cook swordfish steaks on the preheated grill until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side.

Divide bread slices between two plates and top each plate with 1 swordfish steak. Spoon 1/2 of the cherry tomato mixture over each steak.
