Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) swordfish steaks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) lemon juice
- 4 cloves (minced) garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon (chopped) fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (freshly ground) black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons (drained) capers
- 0.25 cup white wine
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 as needed (for grilling) olive oil spray
- 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the swordfish steaks into a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and let the fish marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Spray the grilling surface lightly with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place them onto the grill. Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and have nice grill marks. Remove the steaks from the grill and set them aside on a platter to rest.
While the swordfish is resting, prepare the caper butter sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the capers, white wine, and lemon zest, and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Drizzle the warm caper butter sauce over the grilled swordfish steaks before serving. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Pair with steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a refreshing green salad.
