Swordfish Steaks with Zesty Red Pepper Sauce
January 27 2016
Swordfish is nutrient dense, so it can help you meet your nutrient needs while staying within your calorie limits to promote a healthy body weight. Protein is an essential nutrient for maintaining your muscle mass, and it helps you feel full longer after a meal so that you may eat less at the next meal.
As an oily fish, each 3-ounce serving of swordfish provides 108 milligrams of eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA, and 656 milligrams of docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA. EPA and DHA are omega-3 fats that are found in fatty fish and shellfish. A diet with at least 8 ounces per week of seafood may reduce your risk of cardiac death, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
A nutritional advantage of swordfish is that it provides 424 milligrams of potassium and only 82 milligrams of sodium. High blood pressure, or hypertension increases your risk for heart disease and stroke. Unprocessed foods, such as fresh swordfish, tend to be lower in sodium and higher in potassium than processed foods. Swordfish is also among the few natural food sources of vitamin D with 93% of your daily nutritional value.
The beautiful smoky red sauce is a perfect compliment to the meeting swordfish. Making the sauce is a bit time-consuming, but you will find it is worth the extra time for a delicious healthy meal.
