Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces swordfish steaks
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 whole garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the lemon herb marinade. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or ziplock bag and pour the marinade over the fish. Make sure each piece is evenly coated with the marinade.
Cover the dish or seal the ziplock bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to infuse the swordfish.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Remove the swordfish from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off. Discard the marinade.
Place the swordfish steaks on the grill grates and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Once cooked to your liking, remove the swordfish from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the grilled swordfish immediately with your choice of low-carb sides or a fresh green salad. Enjoy your flavorful, low-carb dish!
