Tonight's dinner was pretty freaking delicious (according to me...and Matt...and the cats). I found some Sashimi Grade, Wild-Caught Swordfish steaks at Trader Joe's last week...only $7.29 a pound, which is a GREAT deal...so here goes:
PAN SEARED SWORDFISH STEAKS
Ingredients:
1 lb swordfish
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Vegetable oil (NOT olive)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 450. Heat a frying pan to medium-high heat. Pat the fish down and salt & pepper it liberally and rub in a bit. Put some oil in the pan and get it pretty hot. Sear the swordfish steaks 5 min per side. Place in a shallow baking dish and finish for 5-8 minutes in the oven.
LEMON-BUTTER SAUCE
Ingredients:
1/2 stick butter
Juice of 2 lemons
Zest of 1/2 - 1 lemon (I used one, it was pretty zingy!)
Sea salt & pepper
Pinch of garlic powder (or use fresh minced)
Directions:
In the saucepan, add the lemon juice, lemon zest and butter. Add a pinch of salt, pinch of garlic powder and butter. This will combine, heat and increase in deliciousness while you're cooking.
BLUE CHEESE SMASHED POTATOES
(Overheard a lady at yoga class saying her husband was making blue cheese potatoes for her birthday dinner. HAD to try!)
Ingredients:
3/4 lb Yukon Gold (or Idaho) potatoes
2 oz blue cheese
1 tbsp butter
Splash of milk
Cracked peppercorns
Directions:
Boil potatoes in salted water until soft. Drain. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with the blue cheese, butter, milk and freshly ground black pepper. Smash with a potato smasher or fork. Taste and add salt if needed, but the blue cheese is pretty salty!
KALE
Heat salted water to medium-high and add kale. Cook until soft and bright green. Drain.
Plate and top the whole thing with the lemon butter sauce...let me know how ya like ;)
