Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) swordfish steaks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 wedges (for serving) lemon wedges
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Rinse the rosemary sprigs and pat them dry. Strip the needles off one sprig and finely chop them, then stir the chopped rosemary into the marinade.
Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the steaks are evenly coated. Allow them to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375–400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place them on the grill. Lay one fresh rosemary sprig on top of each steak for added flavor as they cook.
Grill the swordfish for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Use a spatula to turn the steaks carefully to keep them intact.
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with lemon wedges for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, like grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad.
