Ingredients
- 4 pieces Swordfish steaks
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper to prepare the marinade.
Step 2
Place the swordfish steaks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Remove the swordfish from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess marinade, which can cause flare-ups on the grill.
Step 6
Lightly oil the grill grates with olive oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Place the swordfish steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is just opaque in the center and grill marks appear.
Step 8
Remove the swordfish from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve grilled swordfish with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
