Grilled Swordfish with Mediterranean Salsa

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Swordfish steaks
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Cucumber
• 0.25 cup Red onion
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup Fresh mint
• 0.25 cup Kalamata olives

Instructions

1. 1In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper until combined. Brush this mixture evenly over both sides of the 1.5 lb swordfish steaks.
2. 2Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This is typically around 400-450°F (200-230°C).
3. 3Place the seasoned swordfish steaks on the preheated grill. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes per side. The swordfish is done when it is opaque and flakes easily when gently pressed with a fork. For thicker steaks, aim for an internal temperature of 140-145°F (60-63°C).
4. 4While the swordfish is grilling, prepare the Mediterranean salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the 1 cup of diced tomatoes, 0.5 cup of diced cucumber, 0.25 cup of finely chopped red onion, 0.25 cup of chopped fresh parsley, 0.25 cup of chopped fresh mint, and the 0.25 cup of Kalamata olives. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients.
5. 5Once the swordfish is cooked, carefully remove it from the grill. Spoon the prepared Mediterranean salsa generously over the top of each swordfish steak. Serve immediately.
