Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Swordfish steaks
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) Fresh cilantro
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lime wedges
Instructions
Pat the swordfish steaks dry with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish large enough to hold them in a single layer.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the swordfish steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off, and place them directly on the preheated grill.
Cook the swordfish for 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the swordfish from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
