Indonesian Grilled Swordfish - Take 2

So a couple of weeks ago, my husband made this for dinner on a Friday night and it was very good. When he made it, rather than marinating the swordfish for at least 4 hours or overnight, he gave it about 30 minutes. I decided to try it again and marinate it overnight. This is a Barefoot Contessa recipe and is well worth looking it up on the Food Network site. Marinating the fish overnight made it extremely tender, it just melted in your mouth, and absorbed all the flavors of the marinade. I checked on the Food Network site to see what side dishes Ina might have served with this entree. It was on her Get Grilling show and I made the Carrot Salad to go with the fish. We started our dinner with the Green Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing. Ina's blue cheese dressing is absolutely perfect. It was creamy and smooth and made with smelly Roquefort Blue cheese. I guess you have to like smelly blue cheese to appreciate this dressing. The carrot salad was also very good with lots of shredded carrots, sprinkled with lemon juice, and then dressed with a combination of sour cream, mayonnaise, sugar and salt. The carrots and dressing were tossed with soaked golden raisins and diced pineapple. The sweet carrot salad went beautifully with the seasoned, marinated swordfish. Another wonderful dinner.
