Swordfish

Chimichurri Sauce

Quinoa Vegetable Blend

House Vegetables

Method

Preparation of Swordfish

  1. 1

    Marinate the Swordfish

    In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the swordfish steaks and coat well. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Swordfish

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the swordfish from the marinade and place on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from grill and keep warm.

Preparation of Chimichurri Sauce

  1. 3

    Mix the Chimichurri

    In a bowl, combine the chopped parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and salt. Mix well and set aside to allow flavors to meld.

Preparation of Quinoa Vegetable Blend

  1. 4

    Cook the Quinoa

    In a saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat, and cover. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

  2. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper, zucchini, carrot, and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 6

    Combine Quinoa and Vegetables

    Once the vegetables are cooked, add the fluffed quinoa to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

Preparation of House Vegetables

  1. 7

    Roast the Vegetables

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the asparagus and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

Plating the Dish

  1. 8

    Serve

    On a plate, place a generous serving of the quinoa vegetable blend, top with a swordfish steak, and drizzle with chimichurri sauce. Serve with a side of roasted house vegetables.
