Protein-rich swordfish plus high-fiber brown rice makes for one filling meal. And if flavor is what you're after, you'll find it here thanks to this creamy avocado sauce. (Pro tip: Make extras! You'll want to drizzle this delightfully zesty sauce on everything, from eggs to salad.) Even better, this simple-to-prep dinner comes together in less than 30 minutes and the fish can be cooked on the grill to cut down on dishwashing. Not in the mood for rice? Not a problem. You can also serve these skewers with warmed soft corn tortillas.
