Chimichurri Swordfish with Roasted Veggies

Lauren Rabadi · July 12, 2018 ·

Swordfish is back!

untitled-design2

When you ask for the freshest fish, we take it literally, and there’s nothing fresher than our harpoon-caught swordfish from Nova Scotia. Hailing from the first swordfish fishery to be certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), they’re caught individually by traditional harpooning, a time-honored sustainable technique resulting in no by-catch. Lasting just a few weeks, the season is short but has some of our finest and freshest fish of the year.

Because of its meaty texture, swordfish is great on the grill and is one of the few fish that can stand up to an intense blend of flavors. Try our steaks marinaded in incredibly flavorful chimichurri.


Chimichurri Swordfish with Roasted Veggies Recipe

What You’ll Need:

1 lb swordfish (two fillets)
2 tbsp olive oil
1/3 cup Chimichurri
6 oz FreshDirect Roasted Brussels Sprouts
6 oz FreshDirect Green Beans
12 oz Organic Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Pepitas (optional)

What To Do:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

In a bowl, cover the swordfish with the chimichurri and let marinate in the fridge for about an hour.

Spread the veggies and seeds out on a baking tray and reheat in the oven for about 15 minutes.

Heat a medium-sized sauté pan over high heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil to the hot pan. Swirl to coat, checking for ripples in the oil to ensure the pan is hot enough. Gently add the two fish portions and cook without moving, until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes. Flip each piece over and repeat until both fillets are golden brown on both sides. Carefully transfer the fish to a cutting board or plate and let rest.

Once the veggies have cooked, take them out of the oven and distribute onto two plates. Place one swordfish fillet on top of the veggie mixture and drizzle extra chimichurri sauce on if desired. Enjoy!

Potable and portable, boxed wines make a perfect compliment for long weekends, camping trips, and picnics in the park. Choose a boxed wine that's as unique as your event, everything from color (white, rose, red, orange) to size (1L, 1.5L, and 3L). Cheers!

FreshDirect University?* We sat down with Sr. Director of Corporate Strategy Kristy Nguyen to talk us through the lessons working at FreshDirect has taught her.

Q: What's something you've learned by working at FD?
A: Consumer’s relationship with food. At FreshDirect, our customers care about the product, the experience, and how it relates to their personal values. Add in sustainability and health/wellness and it makes it compelling to feature the best of what FreshDirect offers.

Q: What does working at FD allow you to do in your personal life?
A: Work-life balance has been great! Having the flexibility to travel and pursue hobbies outside of work, including swing dancing.

Q: What's a goal or a dream that you have?
A: I have three. They are to (1) be the #1 grocer in the Tri-State area and beyond, to (2) grow within the Ahold Delhaize organization, and (3) buy a house in Manhattan, raise a family, and travel more. Oh, and join the Peace Corps once I retire!

Q: What's your favorite part about working at FreshDirect?
A: The product, the people, and their passion! I’ve met amazing people at FreshDirect and look forward to working with as many of my coworkers as possible.

*FreshDirect is not a university, however there's much to learn from working here.
