Tune-in GHL Tuesdays and Thursdays on Create TV beginning July 14th
Forty years ago people were afraid to enter the water at the beach... the movie Jaws has had an everlasting effect since. But I say - no worries, just skewer and marinate. Today, I'll opt for grilling swordfish which is ideal when topped with a highly seasoned marinade for flavoring, not tenderizing. The fish is marinated for under 30 minutes making for a quick fix from kitchen to grill.
Have a great weekend!
Use this vinaigrette as a marinade for vegetables, meats, or seafood and as a basic vinaigrette for salad greens.
