Washoku Warriors April Challenge



I always love a good fish recipe, so I was excited to see that this months challenge was a citrus and soy glazed swordfish. Since I don't live anywhere near the ocean, I have little experience buying fresh fish, so I decided to go with an Alaskan salmon filet I had in my freezer. I loved this dish because it came together so quickly and took minimal ingredients, most of which I already had on hand. I actually had some frozen yuzu peel left over from another Washoku Warrior challenge and used it to garnish the fish instead of the lemon zest. I'm so glad I did because the yuzu gave the dish such a distinctive flavor, it was unique and I feel it really made the dish! I served the fish with our favorite brown rice and steamed green beans, it was such a delicious Sunday dinner, everyone gave it two thumbs up!




ps.... do you like my new bangs?




Maya's two thumbs up were a little more enthusiastic!




 Head on over to La Fuji Mama's site and see how everyone else did!

Nicole, I found my yuzu peel at a Japanese market in the freezer section, it was pricy though! $11 for a tiny bag, but the flavor was unbelievable!

I too used yuzu peel as a garnish - having made the sauce with freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. I loved the combination of flavours and the hint of yuzu with the milder grapefruit sauce.
