Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6-8 ounces each) Swordfish steaks
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 (for serving) Lemon wedges
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, but no longer than 1 hour, to prevent the fish from becoming too acidic.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the swordfish steaks on the hot grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, flipping once, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the grilled swordfish to a serving plate and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a light salad.
