I’m going to miss summertime and all the BBQ’ing that we’ve been doing. Everything from steak to chicken, and veggies and pizza. It’s been going on the grill!! And fish, let’s not forget how often we grill fish. We typically grill salmon, but at the market the other day my husband spotted the swordfish and reminded me how long it’s been since we’ve had it. I agreed and we quickly ordered our two swordfish steaks from the fish market. Our dinner of Grilled Swordfish with Pineapple Salsa served over brown rice and a side Caesar Salad was delicious!
I hear so many people say they don’t know how to cook fish. It always amazes me, because it’s as easy or easier than anything else. All I did for our swordfish was brush it with a little olive oil and seasoned it with salt & pepper and quickly grilled it. Easy!!
