Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) swordfish steaks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 4 slices (for serving) lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the swordfish steaks with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, soy sauce, black pepper, salt, and paprika.
Pour the marinade over the swordfish steaks, making sure each piece is coated evenly. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the swordfish steaks on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the swordfish from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled swordfish steaks with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
