Preparation
Prepare the Chimichurri: In a small bowl, mix together chopped parsley (¼ cup), chopped cilantro (2 Tbsp), minced garlic (2 cloves), olive oil (2 Tbsp), red wine vinegar (1 Tbsp), dried oregano (½ tsp), red pepper flakes (¼ tsp), sea salt (¼ tsp), and black pepper (¼ tsp). Stir well and let sit for 10–15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Prepare the Swordfish: Pat the swordfish steak (6 oz) dry with paper towels. Season with sea salt (½ tsp) and black pepper (¼ tsp). Melt the butter (1 Tbsp) and brush it over the swordfish. Grill over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the swordfish is opaque and has nice grill marks. Remove from the grill and drizzle lightly with olive oil (1 Tbsp).
Prepare the Arugula: Toss the fresh arugula (2 cups) with olive oil (1 tsp), lemon juice (1 tsp), and a pinch of sea salt.
Assemble the Dish: Place a bed of arugula on a plate. Top with the grilled swordfish. Spoon generous amounts of chimichurri over the swordfish. Serve immediately, with extra chimichurri on the side if desired.
The widespread prescribing of “fall risk–increasing drugs” (FRIDs)—including sedatives, antidepressants, and antihypertensives—may be fueling the sharp rise in fall-related deaths among older adults. 90% of adults over 65 take prescription medications, and nearly half are on multiple FRIDs simultaneously. This author argues that clinicians should weigh the risks of polypharmacy more carefully, especially in vulnerable older populations, and call for stronger prescribing oversight to mitigate preventable harm.
