Grilled Swordfish with Lemon, Mint and Basil

Usually most of us say that we did not seem to get done what we hoped on a given day.  Today however, I got so much done!  I flew through a list of chores, crafted for work, spent time in the garden and a great afternoon in the kitchen.  Why some days are more productive than others is one of life's mysteries.  
Tonight's entree was a wonderful summer choice.  The herbs in the garden are overflowing.  They had some wild caught sword fish steaks at the fish monger yesterday and I could not resist them. I did a simple herb infused lemon oil, and a quick grill.  It felt like we were at the shore!  You could do this with any meaty fish such as salmon or tuna.  The combination of mint and basil is refreshing!  Pair this with a chilled, crisp, Pinot Grigio and it will feel like a festive meal!
