Grilled Swordfish

Grilled swordfish is a succulent and flavorful dish that highlights the natural sweetness of the fish, complemented by a zesty herb marinade. This easy-to-make recipe delivers a satisfying meal that is both healthy and rich in protein.

Ingredients

• Swordfish steaks - 2 (approximately 200g each)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Fresh thyme - 1 teaspoon, chopped
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
4. Remove the swordfish from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the steaks on the grill.
