Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Swordfish steaks
- 0.5 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped basil, thyme leaves, minced garlic, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest.
Rinse the swordfish steaks under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or a large ziplock bag. Pour the lemon herb marinade over the fish, turning them to coat evenly.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or seal the bag, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F).
Remove the swordfish from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the swordfish steaks on the grill.
Grill the swordfish steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until they are opaque in the center and have nice grill marks.
Transfer the grilled swordfish to a serving platter and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh lemon slices and herb sprigs before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
