Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Swordfish steaks
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
Pat the swordfish steaks dry with paper towels. Rub each steak with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Mince the garlic. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Roughly chop the kalamata olives. Rinse and drain the capers. Chop the parsley and basil leaves.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they soften and begin to release their juices.
Stir in the olives, capers, parsley, and basil. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat. Stir in the lemon juice and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Place the swordfish steaks on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steaks. The fish should be opaque and firm to the touch when done.
Transfer the grilled swordfish to serving plates. Spoon the Sicilian-style sauce over the top of each steak.
Serve immediately with a side of steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or crusty bread to complete the meal.
