Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Swordfish steaks
- 0.5 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped basil, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the swordfish steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the swordfish, ensuring that 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 intense flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
Remove the swordfish from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Discard the marinade.
Place the swordfish steaks on the hot grill. Grill the fish for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the swordfish from the grill and let rest for a minute before serving.
Serve the grilled swordfish with a side of your choice, such as a fresh garden salad or roasted vegetables, and enjoy!
