Very simple, quick and tasty recipe that reminds me of the Mediterranean aromas and flavors. I really like this recipe as it brings me back to summer holidays and it's also super-fast to prepare: the cherry tomatoes and the red onion go in the oven and the swordfish is ready in 10mins. The caramelized onions and the confit cherry tomatoes add sweetness to the swordfish while the capers enhance the swordfish flavor and the natural saltiness. The basil is perfect for its freshness! I would recommend a medium fat swordfish steak, so that it’s softer and cook when it’s super fresh.

- Sword Fish Steak (1 lb / 500g)
- 1 Clove of Garlic

Instructions:
- Pre-heat the oven at 350°F and prepare a tray with baking paper. Slice the red onion. Add the cherry tomatoes and the sliced onion to the tray.
