Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) swordfish steaks
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) fresh garlic
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon (for grilling) olive oil
- 4 pieces (for serving) lime wedges
- 2 tablespoons (for garnish) chopped parsley or cilantro
Instructions
Rinse the swordfish steaks under cold water, pat them dry with paper towels, and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, sesame oil, lime juice, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the swordfish steaks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the marinated swordfish for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the marinade.
Place the swordfish steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook, as swordfish can dry out quickly.
Transfer the grilled swordfish to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
Enjoy your Grilled Ginger Swordfish Steaks with your favorite sides, such as rice, a fresh salad, or grilled vegetables.
