Ingredients
- 4 pieces Swordfish steaks
- 0.5 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped basil, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 2
Place the swordfish steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the swordfish, ensuring that each piece is well coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
Step 4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
Step 5
Remove the swordfish from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Discard the marinade.
Step 6
Place the swordfish steaks on the hot grill. Grill the fish for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the swordfish from the grill and let rest for a minute before serving.
Step 8
Serve the grilled swordfish with a side of your choice, such as a fresh garden salad or roasted vegetables, and enjoy!
