Ingredients

  • 4 6 oz each Swordfish steaks
  • 0.25 cup Olive oil
  • 0.25 cup Lemon juice
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1In a medium bowl, combine the 0.25 cup olive oil, 0.25 cup lemon juice, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well combined to create the marinade.
  2. 2Place the 4 swordfish steaks in a shallow dish. Pour the prepared marinade over the swordfish steaks, ensuring each steak is fully coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. 3Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This is approximately 400-450°F (200-230°C).
  4. 4Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the steaks on the preheated grill.
  5. 5Grill the swordfish for 4-5 minutes on the first side. Flip the steaks and grill for another 4-5 minutes on the second side. The swordfish is cooked through when it is opaque and flakes easily when gently pressed with a fork, or when an instant-read thermometer registers an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  6. 6Remove the swordfish from the grill and serve immediately. This pairs well with grilled vegetables or a simple salad.
