Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 swordfish steaks, about 6 ounces each
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
- Grill the swordfish steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have grill marks. Avoid overcooking to prevent the fish from becoming dry.
- Once grilled, remove the swordfish steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve the grilled swordfish steaks with a side of your choice and enjoy!
Grilled swordfish with a zesty lemon and herb marinade has a rich history dating back to ancient Mediterranean civilizations. Renowned chefs in coastal regions like Sicily and Greece have perfected this dish, infusing it with the flavors of the sea and the aromatic essence of fresh herbs. The succulent swordfish steaks are marinated in a blend of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and fragrant herbs like oregano and thyme, then expertly grilled to perfection. Today, the best versions of this dish can be savored in upscale seafood restaurants along the Mediterranean coast, where the quality of the swordfish and the finesse of the marinade are paramount. For a twist, some chefs also incorporate regional ingredients like capers or olives into the marinade, adding a unique depth of flavor to the dish. Whether enjoyed in a seaside taverna or prepared at home, grilled swordfish with a lemon and herb marinade is a timeless culinary delight that captures the essence of coastal dining.
