Ingredients
- 4 pieces Swordfish steaks
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 unit Lemon, sliced for garnish
Directions
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 2
Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, making sure they are well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour for the flavors to meld.
Step 3
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
Step 5
Place the swordfish steaks on the preheated grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork. Avoid overcooking to ensure the fish remains moist and tender.
Step 6
Remove swordfish steaks from the grill and let them rest for a minute or two.
Step 7
Serve the grilled swordfish with lemon slices for garnish. Enjoy with your favorite side dish, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
