Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) swordfish steaks
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
• 2 cloves (minced) fresh garlic
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon (for grilling) olive oil
• 4 pieces (for serving) lime wedges
• 2 tablespoons (for garnish) chopped parsley or cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the swordfish steaks under cold water, pat them dry with paper towels, and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, sesame oil, lime juice, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the swordfish steaks in 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 with plastic wrap.

Step 4

Refrigerate the marinated swordfish for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the marinade.

Step 7

Place the swordfish steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook, as swordfish can dry out quickly.

Step 8

Transfer the grilled swordfish to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Step 9

Enjoy your Grilled Ginger Swordfish Steaks with your favorite sides, such as rice, a fresh salad, or grilled vegetables.
