Teriyaki Grilled Swordfish
Pasta with Peanut Sauce
Sesame Carrots

Cooking time:  30 minutes for menu          Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

      It's not often that I can get the 'larger' ocean fish, here, like tuna or sword fish, but they work so nicely on the grill I always snap them up during the summer.

Teriyaki Grilled Swordfish

Total time: 15 minutes  
       The steaks we had were quite thin, about 1/3" (1cm).  They cooked very quickly on the grill, about 2 minutes per side.  If you prefer, you can quickly pan-fry them for about the same amount of time. We use a grill basket for fish; it makes it easier to handle the filets or steaks.  You could also use a silicone mat - but no grill marks!

Pasta with Peanut Sauce

Total time: 25 minutes
    
Peanut butter, sherry, fresh herbs... It's a simple sauce, rich, creamy and full of flavor.  It is meant to be served just barely warm or at room temperature.
