Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
- Cut the swordfish steaks into 1-inch cubes. Chop the zucchini, red onion, and bell peppers into similar sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Thread alternating pieces of swordfish, bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini onto the skewers.
- Brush the skewers generously with the marinade, ensuring all sides are well coated.
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the swordfish is opaque and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the succulent swordfish skewers with a side of couscous or Greek salad for a complete Mediterranean meal. Enjoy!
Tips
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- You can also use other firm-fleshed fish like tuna or salmon instead of swordfish.
- For a vegetarian option, replace the swordfish with halloumi cheese or tofu.
