Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Swordfish steaks
- 0.5 cup Orange juice
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 (for serving) Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, ground black pepper, and salt. Whisk together until the marinade is well-emulsified.
Step 2
Place the swordfish steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Seal the bag (or cover the dish with plastic wrap) and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Do not marinate longer than 1 hour to avoid breaking down the fish too much.
Step 3
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 5
Grill the swordfish steaks for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking, as swordfish can dry out quickly.
Step 6
Once cooked, remove the swordfish from the grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
