Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) swordfish steaks
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 wedges (for serving) lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 2
Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 3
Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 2 hours for optimal flavor and texture.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the swordfish from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Place the swordfish steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the swordfish from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the grilled swordfish hot, garnished with lemon wedges for an extra burst of citrus.
