Spa Cuisine: Grilled Swordfish and Honey-Jalapeno

This makes a great summer lunch or light dinner. Carrots make the list of top ten antioxidants, as they are just loaded with beta-carotene, especially when slightly cooked. The carrots in this recipe go well with almost any fish or chicken, and can even stand up to lamb. Make extra! It’s delicious and holds up well in the fridge for at least a week. Remember, choose organic free-range food wherever possible. It’s tastier and healthier, plus it’s the best way to avoid genetically-modified ingredients. Serves 4
