One type of fish that I particularly like in lieu of meat\u00a0is a nice thick swordfish steak<\/a>.\r\nPreparation<\/h3>\r\nI let it sit for an hour in a light and simple marinade of extra virgin olive oil, freshly crushed garlic, chopped shallots, coconut aminos, sea salt, and cracked black pepper to enhance the actual flavor of the fish.

Once cooked, it should easily flake with a fork and look opaque throughout.

This can be prepared in advance and chilled in the fridge until ready to be eaten.\r\nSides<\/h3>\r\nThe vegetable sides that go along with the swordfish can be grilled before or after the fish is cooked. Drizzle whole heirloom tomatoes, carrots, and red onions with melted ghee, and grill until tomatoes and carrots begin to soften and onions start\u00a0to caramelize. Serve these vegetables together with the grilled swordfish.\r\n\r\nStuffed Dates<\/strong>\r\n\r\nFinish off with walnut-stuffed dates also pan fried in ghee for a sweet and crunchy treat that ties together this simple and satisfying gourmet meal!\r\n\r\n
