Preheat barbecue with a good hot fire. Rinse and pat dry swordfish. In a small mixing bowl, mix tomato sauce, sugar, balsamic, chili flakes and let stand.
Into another mixing bowl, add Gaeta olives and cucumber. Cube plum tomatoes into 1/8-inch cubes and add to cucumber mixture. Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar and 2 tablespoons oregano leaves and mix well. Do not season until ready to serve or vegetables will wilt.
In a blender, mix Dijon mustard, 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil and 6 tablespoons red wine vinegar until smooth. Remove and stir in chopped chives and set aside.
Brush swordfish steaks with barbecue sauce and season with salt and pepper. Cook 3 minutes on first side and flip over. Spoon 1 ounce barbecue sauce over each steak and finish cooking without turning about 4 more minutes.
Meanwhile, divide cucumber salad among 4 plates. When swordfish is finished, lean one steak on each plate over salad. Drizzle with chive sauce and serve.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
