Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) swordfish steaks
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh dill
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 slices lemon slices
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped parsley, chopped dill, minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is well blended.
Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the lemon herb marinade over the swordfish, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for stronger flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Remove the swordfish from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-6 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While grilling, you can place a lemon slice on top of each swordfish steak for extra flavor and presentation.
Once cooked, transfer the swordfish to a serving platter. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled swordfish with your preferred sides, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables. Enjoy!
