Ingredients
- 4 pieces swordfish steaks
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 whole garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the lemon herb marinade. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 2
Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or ziplock bag and pour the marinade over the fish. Make sure each piece is evenly coated with the marinade.
Step 3
Cover the dish or seal the ziplock bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to infuse the swordfish.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the swordfish from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off. Discard the marinade.
Step 6
Place the swordfish steaks on the grill grates and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Once cooked to your liking, remove the swordfish from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 8
Serve the grilled swordfish immediately with your choice of low-carb sides or a fresh green salad. Enjoy your flavorful, low-carb dish!
