Ingredients

• 4 pieces swordfish steaks
• 0.25 cup lemon juice
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons fresh oregano
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the garlic cloves, fresh parsley, fresh oregano, and fresh thyme.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, chopped garlic, chopped parsley, chopped oregano, chopped thyme, salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes.

Step 3

Whisk the marinade ingredients together until well-blended.

Step 4

Place the swordfish steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.

Step 5

Pour the lemon herb marinade over the swordfish steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes.

Step 6

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Remove the swordfish from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 8

Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking using a paper towel dipped in oil and tongs.

Step 9

Grill the swordfish steaks for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has grill marks.

Step 10

Remove the swordfish from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve the grilled swordfish with a garnish of additional fresh herbs and lemon wedges, if desired.
