Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Swordfish steaks
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper to prepare the marinade.
Place the swordfish steaks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the swordfish from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess marinade, which can cause flare-ups on the grill.
Lightly oil the grill grates with olive oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Place the swordfish steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is just opaque in the center and grill marks appear.
Remove the swordfish from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve grilled swordfish with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
