So, a few months back I promised my girlfriend some swordfish,

It's no different than cooking a steak or a pork chop.

Season it, stick it on a hot grill or a hot skillet. Get a good sear on it, flip it and repeat on the 2nd side.

If it's a thick piece and isn't cooked through yet then move it to a cooler area of the grill (or lower the heat on your pan) and finish it.

Wait, for real? Just cook it like a regular steak?

Isn't fish way more fragile, or am I just too used to cooking salmon filets?

Also, what goes well with it? I see a lot of lemon dishes, but when I think lemon asparagus. Besides Asparagus, what other sides can you think of to compliment it?

Of fucking course.

>>Isn't fish way more fragile, or am I just too used to cooking salmon filets?

Swordfish is a different type of meat than salmon. It's much less fragile. Also, if your fish (any kind) is actually falling apart on you then you are overcooking it.

Lemon pepper is a classic seasoning for many kinds of fish. That would certainly work. As for the sides, steamed veggies would work and that's also super easy.

Cool, I'll do that. Thanks, anon(s)! I'll think of you during the after dinner festivities!

>>8576952
you sound like a caring boyfriend.

good on you OP but I would never eat swordfish after working on a fishing boat.

Those things are full of mercury and fucking parasites that I still have nightmares about jesus christ

>Those things are full of mercury

Totally irrelevant unless you plan on eating swordfish daily.

>>parasites
Which you don't eat.

>>8577212
Isn't mercury something with all fish?

>>8577221
the larger the fish the more mercury is a risk.

But like >>8577219 said, it doesn't matter unless you eat fish very often.

>>8576952

It's one of those 375 for four minutes a side kind of things...

>>8577011
A nice rice pilaf is a good side, or lemon orzo also pairs quite well

Just put it in her mouth; she'll know what to do after that.

>>8577058
Include me in the cumshot

>>8577212
>mercury is bad for you
Stop falling for this factory farm funded propaganda.

Thought of you ;)

Thanks again, /ck/. Turned out good. Not worth the obscene amount of money I spent on it, but pretty good.

Do me a favor and drink a couple dozen mercury thermometers.

What was your price per pound? It's not that much more than salmon for me.

nothing would happen, it's inert in the body at worst.
