I know...I really need to work on my plating skills, because that picture doesn't look appetizing. But, let me assure you that it was SO delicious. Nothing tastes better than in-season fish, especially because it's cheaper. So, last night's dinner was Swordfish with Citrus Pesto a la Giada de Laurentiis. All I can say is yum. It was so tender, juicy, and fresh. And I'm always a fan of making my own pesto, because I can control the level of oil that goes in it. I'm also becoming an increasingly enthusiastic fan of quinoa as a rice alternative. Normally, I'll use brown rice as a side carb, but that's very nutty and hearty. If I want something much lighter, I'll reach for quinoa because it's just as good for you, but isn't as heavy. It's also very absorbant of other flavors, so I cooked it with some sauteed onions. Then, folded toasted pecans and leftover chopped basil in the end for freshness and crunch. Grilled fish and light grains = summery yummy goodness.
