Swordfish with Persian Lime & Coconut Marinade
by Olive the Best | Mar 11, 2022 |
The Persian Lime Olive Oil and Coconut White Balsamic remains one of my main go-tos for seafood and fish -- but it is also delicious on chicken, salads and veggies.
There's so much to share on this delicious pairing but try the swordfish first ... and look for our halibut recipe as well!
* allow the time for the marinating-- the rest takes minutes!
