Lemon Herb Grilled Swordfish Steaks
Ingredients
For the Swordfish Steaks:
4 swordfish steaks (6 oz each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
For Garnishing:
Fresh parsley, chopped
Lemon wedges
Directions
1. Marinate the Swordfish:
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over them.
Let the steaks marinate in the refrigerator for 20โ30 minutes.
2. Preheat the Grill:
Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
3. Grill the Swordfish:
Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 4โ5 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and easily flake with a fork.
4. Serve:
Transfer the grilled swordfish to a platter.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for extra zest.
Tips for Perfect Swordfish Steaks:
Avoid overcooking; swordfish should remain moist and tender.
Pair with a crisp green salad, roasted potatoes, or grilled vegetables for a balanced meal.
Add a pinch of red chili flakes to the marinade for a spicy twist.
