Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces swordfish steaks
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Finely chop the garlic cloves, fresh parsley, fresh oregano, and fresh thyme.
In a small mixing bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, chopped garlic, chopped parsley, chopped oregano, chopped thyme, salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes.
Whisk the marinade ingredients together until well-blended.
Place the swordfish steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
Pour the lemon herb marinade over the swordfish steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the swordfish from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking using a paper towel dipped in oil and tongs.
Grill the swordfish steaks for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has grill marks.
Remove the swordfish from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled swordfish with a garnish of additional fresh herbs and lemon wedges, if desired.
