First off, I love swordfish; to me, it is the perfect fish. Admittedly, I never order swordfish at restaurants, because in my experience, it’s always over-cooked and dried out. Swordfish is a very meaty fish, which makes it great for marinades, grilling, etc.. I think that swordfish is a great “entry” fish for those trying to incorporate more marine protein into their diet.
This recipe was inspired by a repeat favorite from this past summer: caesar salad with grilled swordfish. I also watched an episode of Barefoot Contessa where Ina created a caesar-style roasted fish (this version is a lot lighter and involves fewer ingredients!). This dish is perfect to serve alongside sautéed zucchini, a big salad, or some rice pilaf. The best part about my recipe? There’s little to no preparation involved!
This. easy, low-prep recipe is perfect for a busy weeknight! If you love caesar salad and fish.. this is the perfect dish for you! If you don’t have a grill, you can make this in your oven by broiling the fish instead.
