This Persian Swordfish Kabobs with Cilantro Tzatziki recipe is my rendition of yummy swordfish kabobs I have had at Persian restaurants. There’s a little restaurant in Virginia, outside Washington DC, where I remember one meal specifically with fresh hummus, naan bread, and turmeric rice (all of which I have recreated, see my rice pictured above!) …YUMMM-O! And now these kabobs complete my memory so I can have this whole tremendous meal at home.

Now, before you start yelling at me “but Erica, swordfish is expensive!”, here’s the thing… swordfish was on sale $8.99 a pound last week, but even then I was undecided if I wanted to spend $14 on fish. But then my daughter noticed the bin of $6.99/lb assorted swordfish chunks from trimmings. Sold!

I absolutely love the flavors going on here. The spices, combined with the smokey awesomeness that can only come from cooking on the grill, complement swordfish perfectly. Then add a little dippity in cool, herbed yogurt, and it is awwwllll just right. …Oh yeah, and healthy too!
