GRILLED SHUTOME

DINNER AT HOME

This dinner was so good because the fish was so fresh.  When fish is this fresh you really don't need a lot of seasoning and sauces.  Simple Salt, Pepper and maybe a touch of Lemon.  Sometimes I serve with a Butter/Cream Sauce but this was just fine without it.  Cut like butter and melted in my mouth!

DINNER AT HOME

Fresh fish is always on our dinner menu on Good Friday.  Not much of a fish selection at the market on this day but they did have some fresh Shutome (Swordfish) which looked good.

Simply grilled the fish with a little Hawaiian Salt, Pepper and Lemon/Garlic Flavor God Seasoning.  Made a White Wine, Butter, Shallot, Garlic and Capers Sauce that elevated this dish to restaurant quality.  Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Carrots with a little Olive Oil, Garlic, Salt and Pepper.  Actually added Bacon but my Wife removed it all because it was Good Friday and no meat products can be eaten.  Delicious dinner on the lanai.

DINNER AT HOME

Shutome as it is called in Hawaii is actually Broadbill Swordfish.  The fish is very firm and has a mild flavor.  When I saw Shutome at the market for $3.49 per pound I had to buy some.  Sitting right next to the Shutome was Mahi Mahi but it was $14.99 per pound.  Fresh grilled Shutome with butter, salt and pepper is good but on this occasion I kicked up the flavor with a quick Mushroom Cream Sauce.  I am not a cook but just like to experiment with different flavors.  Normally don't measure anything and just pour and taste as I go.  I picked up some nice mushrooms on the Island of Kauai for $5 so this meal for three was around $15 total.  Served the fish with some leftover Linguine topped with the Mushroom Cream Sauce.  Fish turned out perfect and was delicious.
