One Click Swordfish

Many who know me think I work undercover for Freshdirect, an online grocery store that has been delivering in Manhattan for 4-5 years. I was an early adopter and got on the online bandwagon very early on. Why was I going to go the corner grocery store to get $5 moldy raspberries in aisles too small for shopping carts? The kicker is that I then have to shlep 6 bags home. Freshdirect allows you to shop when you want, where you want, and promises only the freshest produce. There is a feature called "quickshop" that has your entire shopping list on it from previous deliveries, making shopping that much more convenient. The best part is if I'm not home, the order stays with the doorman for an hour or two!

If you don't live in the NY area and you like food, you should check out their site, it's pretty and gives you beautiful visuals of different kinds of fish, meat and veggies. It also educated users with a seasonal guide and storage guide for fruit so we can figure out when a berry crumble would be more appropriate than an apple crumb pie (both sound good to me always). Their newest feature is "one click recipes". My first recipe was a hit! FreshDirect has thousands of recipes at my fingertips. It was as easy as searching for an ingredient or type of cuisine, finding the recipe to suit your taste and the ingredients will be automatically added to your cart. Genius!

Swordfish with Lime and Coriander
(from The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook)

3 lb swordfish steak

1/2 cup olive oil

juice of 3 limes

3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

lime wedges

4 tbsp butter

Marinate the swordfish in olive oil, lemon juice and 1/2 cup of coriander. Let it sit for a few hours, turning the fish over a few times. Remove the fish from the marinade, reserve excess marinade. Season the steaks and grill on both sides, basting with reserved marinade frequently.

Remove the steaks from the grill, spread them with butter and the remaining 1/4 cup of cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Here is the official recipe on Freshdirect. I left out the butter to make it healthier and used a sprinkle of lime juice on each steak after it came off the grill. I also used my indoor grill pan...no coals :)

Although I have tried similar recipes involving lime juice and swordfish, this one click recipe was the best ! A nice zesty crust formed outside the swordfish and the meat was very juicy. I didn't even miss the butter I left out.

It would be great if you could change the serving sizes automatically and review the recipes online, a feature I really enjoy on www.epicurious.com.

This one's easy, enjoy it on a weeknight!
