Swordfish with Lemon Parsley Sauce

By GratefulSea

Swordfish is expensive, so be sure to check something like the Monterey Bay Aquarium's "Seafood Watch" before purchasing, to make sure what you buy is both safe from mercury contamination and caught by sustainable methods. "Seafood Watch" is on their website, and is also a great free app for your smartphone. Whole Foods has pledged not to sell any seafood that hasn't gotten a green light from Seafood Watch.
