Ingredients

Sweet Corn Salad:

Herb Roasted Tomatoes:

Eggplant Caviar:

Directions

  1. Season each piece of the fish with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Heat a grill to high and grill the fish to the desired degree of doneness. Place 1/2 cup of the Sweet Corn Salad on each of 6 plates, then top with the grilled fish. Garnish each portion of fish with 4 slices of the Herb Roasted Tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of the Eggplant Caviar.
  2. Serve immediately.

Sweet Corn Salad:

  1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over a medium-high flame. Add the oil, corn and onions, and saute for 1 minute. Add the remaining ingredients and toss to combine. Allow to cool. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.

Herb Roasted Tomatoes:

  1. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and toss to thoroughly coat. Place in a single layer on a wire rack placed on top of a baking sheet and bake until moist-dried, about 2 hours.
  3. Let cool completely then store in airtight containers.

Eggplant Caviar:

  1. In a colander, toss the eggplant slices with 1 tablespoon of the salt, then cover with a small plate and weight; set aside to drain for 30 minutes. Rinse eggplant slices briefly under cool running water and pat dry. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Brush eggplant slices on both sides with some of the oil and grill until tender, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining slices and set aside to cool. Once cooled, cut the eggplant slices into small dice and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients (including any remaining olive oil), stir to combine, and season, to taste, with remaining salt (if necessary) and pepper.
