    Very very good... I did cheat and use jarred pesto as I had some on hand.... This was still very flavorful! I will for sure make again! I really like the swordfish.. Very meaty fish

    Oh my goodness. This pesto is AMAZING. I didn't make swordfish, but baked tilapia instead. I halved the pesto recipe and still had some to throw in the freezer. I even put the pesto on my roasted asparagus and it was absolutely heavenly. Keeping this recipe for sure!

    The citrus pesto sauce is amazing. I make it all the time in the summer. Great with the swordfish but any mild white fish can be substituted. I've used the pesto on haddock, tilapia, cod and halibut...all with equally delicious results.

    I made this recipe for company & they loved it. My father-in-law is lactose intolerant, so I substituted pecorino for parmesan in the pesto. I omitted the salt b/c the pecorino is salty and only added about 3/4 of a cup of cheese. I used Mahi and Tilapia b/c that was what I had on hand. I thought the pesto was really great and was the flavors were well blended. I would definitely make it, again.

    This pesto was a really tasty topping for my swordfish. I will definitely use this recipe again and try it with different types of fish. Another good way to make use of basil and lemons from my garden! I used a little less of the juice than the recipe called for, since I didn't want the pesto to be too liquidy.

    This pesto is WONDERFUL. I used tilapia instead of swordfish, and tossed the extra pesto with pasta as a side dish. The flavors were so bright and summery. I can't wait to make this again! Thanks Giada!!

    This is the best pesto I ever tasted. So refreshing with the orange and lemon...not heavy despite the cheese. Splurge and get the real parmesan and grate it yourself. Makes a differance both in terms of texture and taste. I served it with simple grilled fish. Lovely.

    this recipe was so quick and so easy! I wouldve rather left the parmesan out of the pesto but it still came out very good. i made the swordfish with and brocolli and angel hair pasta tossed in olive oil and other herbs. i had so much pesto left over that i made a sandwich with it the next day.

    Pesto was perfect with the swordfish! So light and fresh tasting. Doubt we'll ever make a different recipe for swordfish!

    This recipe is refreshing because of the pesto. The cooking time of the fish was perfect- turned out really moist.
