Ingredients

• 4 pieces Swordfish steaks
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Zest of a lemon
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the swordfish steaks under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of oregano, salt, and black pepper. Pour the marinade over the swordfish steaks, ensuring they’re evenly coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 3

While the fish marinates, prepare the oreganato mixture. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the breadcrumbs and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant.

Step 4

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the remaining oregano, parsley, Parmesan cheese, and lemon zest. Set aside.

Step 5

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent the fish from sticking.

Step 6

Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Grill the steaks for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and cooked through. Timing may vary based on the thickness of the steaks.

Step 7

Remove the grilled swordfish to a platter. Sprinkle the oreganato breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of each steak.

Step 8

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish. Enjoy!
