I recommend marinating more than an hour. I think we really would have liked it, but we could barely taste the marinade. -
not bad, but I had to bake it instead for health reasons.substituted olive oil with chicken broth and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. wife liked it. if i broiled it smoke would have been everywhere. -
I really liked this recipe. I dont usually use marinade, but this one is so fast, easy, and tasty. I use more fresh basil and garlic. The tastes and smells are so fresh and wonderful -
Although I marinated it for the full hour, the swordfish did not seem to retain the flavors of the marinade. I served the fish with turmeric rice and asparagus spears. The white sauce I had thrown together to dress up the asparagus ended up helping the fish tremendously. I recommend making some sort of creamy sauce to serve over the top of this swordfish, to give it a more complex flavor and an added dimension. -
This was our first time grilling swordfish, but it certainly won't be the last! We couldn't believe how juicy and flavorful it was. The texture is almost like salmon. We did have to cook it a little longer than the recipe stated, but other than that it was perfect!

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
