Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces swordfish steaks
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the swordfish steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the swordfish, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the swordfish from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
Place the swordfish steaks on the grill. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the swordfish from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the grilled swordfish with lemon wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness.
