Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) swordfish steaks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
- 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Place the swordfish steaks in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade and gently shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the swordfish steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque in the center and has nice grill marks. Be careful not to overcook, as swordfish can dry out quickly.
Remove the swordfish from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Enjoy your delicious grilled swordfish!
