Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) swordfish steaks
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 wedges (for serving) lemon wedges
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 2 hours for optimal flavor and texture.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the swordfish from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Place the swordfish steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
Remove the swordfish from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled swordfish hot, garnished with lemon wedges for an extra burst of citrus.
