    List of Ingredients

    Weight Watchers Sicilian Swordfish Salad with Garlic-Oregano Toasts


    3 oz French bread, cut into twelve 1/4-inch-thick slices
    4 sprays olive oil cooking spray, divided
    1 large garlic clove(s), cut in half
    1/2 tsp dried oregano, divided
    1 1/2 pound swordfish fillet(s), four 6 oz pieces (or two 12 oz fillets cut in half)
    3/4 tsp table salt, divided
    1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, divided
    3 Tbsp orange juice
    2 Tbsp olive oil
    1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
    3 medium orange(s), navel, peel and white pith removed, halved, sliced
    5 oz arugula, baby leaves
    1/2 cup red onion(s), thinly sliced
    8 medium olive(s), calamata, pitted and sliced (about 1/4 cup)


    Recipe

    Preheat an outdoor grill, or a ridged stove-top grill pan or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, coat bread slices with cooking spray.

    Place bread on grill or pan. Cook, turning twice, until lightly toasted, about 4 minutes. Remove bread from pan and rub one side of each slice with garlic; crumble 1/4 teaspoon of oregano over toasted bread slices.

    Coat swordfish with cooking spray and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper; grill or cook, turning once, until just cooked through, about 6 minutes.

    Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together orange juice, oil, vinegar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of pepper and oregano; remove and reserve 2 tablespoons of dressing.

    Add oranges, arugula, onion and unreserved dressing to bowl; toss to coat.

    To assemble salads, place 2 cups of salad mixture on each of 4 plates; top each with a swordfish fillet (about 4 1/2 ounces). Drizzle each fillet with 1 1/2 teaspoons of reserved dressing; sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of sliced olives. Place 3 pieces of toast on each plate.
