Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Swordfish steaks
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) Fresh cilantro
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
Pat the swordfish steaks dry with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish large enough to hold them in a single layer.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the swordfish steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Step 4
Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off, and place them directly on the preheated grill.
Step 6
Cook the swordfish for 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the swordfish from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
Step 8
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
