Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) Swordfish steaks
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1.5 tablespoons Honey
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, black pepper, and paprika.
Rinse the swordfish steaks under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Place the swordfish steaks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the steaks are evenly coated. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are glowing and covered with white ash. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the swordfish steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking, as swordfish can dry out quickly.
Transfer the grilled swordfish to a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for added brightness.
Enjoy your BBQ grilled swordfish with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or steamed rice.
