Health and fertility benefits of Swordfish Skewers with Salsa Verde

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to.

Ingredients

1 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
10 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
28 fresh bay leaves (1 cup)
1 1/2 pounds swordfish, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium zucchini, very thinly sliced lengthwise on a mandoline
2 lemons, halved crosswise

Instructions

In a blender or mini food processor, pulse the parsley, garlic, crushed red pepper and olive oil to a thick puree. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl.
Onto each of 4 long skewers, alternately thread a bay leaf, a piece of fish, a bay leaf and a slice of zucchini, repeating until each skewer has 3 pieces of fish, 3 slices of zucchini and 7 bay leaves. Season the skewers with salt and pepper and brush all over with the parsley sauce. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Grill the skewers over moderate heat, turning, until the fish is lightly browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Meanwhile, grill the lemon halves, cut side down, until charred, about 2 minutes. Serve the skewers with the grilled lemons. Discard the bay leaves.
