Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Swordfish steaks
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 unit Lemon, sliced for garnish
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, making sure they are well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour for the flavors to meld.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
Place the swordfish steaks on the preheated grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork. Avoid overcooking to ensure the fish remains moist and tender.
Remove swordfish steaks from the grill and let them rest for a minute or two.
Serve the grilled swordfish with lemon slices for garnish. Enjoy with your favorite side dish, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
