Grilled Swordfish!

Grilled Swordfish

The warm weather has arrived!  Here in Western Massachusetts we have gardening on our minds!  It's time to start purchasing our annuals, perennials and seeds too.  The garden centers were crowded today with so many enthusiastic people choosing the plants that will add color to their yards this Spring, Summer and Autumn.  Some people are also planning their vegetable gardens. 

Today is a beautiful sunny day and our local grocery store has fresh Swordfish in the Seafood Department.  I knew what we would be having for dinner.  Grilled Swordfish!  It's easy to prepare and does not take long to grill.   

The amount of needed grilling time depends on the size of the piece of Swordfish Steak and your grill. Using our grill it usually takes 14- 15 minutes total grilling time.  7 minutes on each side.

Now that we have returned to shopping "in person" in our grocery store, Mashed Potatoes and a veggie salad will also be served.  It's amazing how much we missed eating Mashed Potatoes when I was planning our menu for one and one-half weeks at a time.  We also did not have fresh seafood as much as we usually do.  However, a bag of frozen Shrimp was always in our large freezer.  Frozen Shrimp has become a staple for me and purchasing it "on Special" is the best way.  This past year+ has certainly been challenging, but the future looks so bright!

Enjoy!
Yummy!

Daffodils facing the sun!

The bright yellow Daffodils are blossoming in our front cut-out!  Golden forsythias stand out in our backyard.  It's Spring and yesterday it felt mighty fine to be outdoors without a jacket!  Yes, I did write without a jacket!  Another quick look into our backyard and our grill is spotted.  It's been a tease during the harsh winter months just sitting on the side of our deck - covered - waiting to be used.   

Yesterday, the lid of the shiny grill was opened and a Swordfish Steak was placed on the grill.  Swordfish has been a fave of mine way back from my childhood.  The only way my mom prepared it was using the broiler.  However, I've learned that Grilled Swordfish is absolutely delicious!  And it requires little clean-up after dinner.

I've posted my method for grilling Swordfish in the past.  After totally enjoying this grilled fish along with a veggie salad & a microwaved "baked" potato, I decided to share it once again.  So good!
