Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) swordfish steaks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 4 slices (for serving) lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and pat dry the swordfish steaks with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, soy sauce, black pepper, salt, and paprika.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the swordfish steaks, making sure each piece is coated evenly. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Place the swordfish steaks on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the swordfish from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the grilled swordfish steaks with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
