Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce pieces Swordfish steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 large Sweet onions (such as Vidalia)
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Pat the swordfish steaks dry with a paper towel. Brush each steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil (both sides) and season with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Peel and thinly slice the onions into rings. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet. Stir to coat in oil, then reduce heat to low and cook for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and caramelized. Add the balsamic vinegar and thyme during the last 5 minutes of cooking, stirring to incorporate.
While the onions cook, place the swordfish steaks on the grill. Cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the swordfish steaks from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes.
Divide the swordfish among four plates. Top each steak with a generous spoonful of caramelized onions.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish, and enjoy!
