Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-oz each) Swordfish steaks
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon, chopped Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon, chopped Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole lemon Zest of a lemon
- 4 for serving Lemon wedges
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to prepare the marinade.
Rinse the swordfish steaks under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the used marinade.
Grill the swordfish steaks for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking to ensure the fish remains moist and tender.
Transfer the cooked swordfish steaks to a serving plate and garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired.
Serve the swordfish steaks immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
