Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) Swordfish steaks
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lemon juice
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon (chopped) Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (freshly ground) Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
- 4 for serving Lemon wedges
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Rinse the swordfish steaks under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each steak is evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grates or use cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade and allow any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the swordfish steaks on the hot grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking, as swordfish can become dry.
Transfer the grilled swordfish to a serving platter and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
Serve the swordfish warm with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh citrus finish.
