Great! I'm a little confused as to why the basil and arugula combo is called a 'sauce' in the title since it's not at all saucy - but the flavor is perfect. Very clean and crisp. I added a little more lemon because I'm a lemon nut. Even my semi-picky 15yo loved this one (said "Good fish Mom" more than once - which is a lot coming from him). Thank you thank you! Read More

Too bland for my taste. The dominant flavor was the crushed garlic which overwhelmed all the other ingredients. Read More

I was just cooking for myself so I used one.41-lb steak (about an inch thick) and halved everything else. Instead of arugula I had a spinach-arugula mixture and chopped that up. Threw all of the "sauce" ingredients including the chopped greens into a little saucepan on the lowest setting while the fish cooked to meld them together a bit better and allow the flavors to open up. I only flipped it once in the 15 minutes as I would with a beef steak. The result was fantastic. I would do it exactly the same next time. Read More

Yes as a couple of other reviews commented not sure why this is called sauce and not salad?! I followed Katie Sue's suggestion and mixed the dressing in a small saucepan then added the greens and let it warm up and wilt a bit..on a hot summer day would just serve as a salad. I also served it on the side as swordfish has such a lovely mild flavour I didn't want to "smother " it. Enjoyed will make again Read More
