Swordfish is perfect for hot-and-fast applications like this springy skillet from Ali Slagle’s cookbook I Dream of Dinner (So You Don’t Have To) because it cooks quickly without drying out. Swap in another fatty fish—like mahi-mahi or salmon—and whatever crunchy vegetables (like green beans or snap peas) and small white beans (like navy or Great Northern) you have on hand. Serve alongside orzo, Israeli couscous, bulgur, or crusty bread for sopping up the lemony juices.
