Grilled Swordfish Steaks with Herb Marinade

Ingredients

• Swordfish steaks (4 (6-ounce) steaks)
• Olive oil (1/4 cup)
• Lemon juice (2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Fresh parsley (1/4 cup, chopped)
• Dried oregano (1 teaspoon)
• Salt (1 teaspoon)
• Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
• Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create the marinade.
2. Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag, and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
4. Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
5. Grill the swordfish steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
6. Once grilled, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
7. Serve the grilled swordfish steaks with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, lemon wedges, and your choice of side dishes such as a crisp salad, grilled vegetables, or couscous. Enjoy your culinary journey!
