Ingredients
- 4 fillets (6-8 oz each) Swordfish steaks
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, basil, thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the swordfish, ensuring each steak is thoroughly coated. Seal the dish with plastic wrap or the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld, but no more than 2 hours.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, roughly 400°F (200°C). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are ashed over and spread out evenly.
Step 4
Remove the swordfish from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 5
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the swordfish steaks directly on the grill.
Step 6
Grill the swordfish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the steaks are opaque and flaky.
Step 7
Remove the swordfish from the grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve the grilled swordfish hot, garnished with additional chopped herbs or lemon wedges if desired.
