Ingredients

Marinade:

• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

• 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

• 2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano

• 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme

• 2 large cloves garlic, crushed

• 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed

• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

  
  

Fish:

• Olive oil, for oiling the grill

• Fresh lemon slices, for garnish

  
  

Method

1. Make the Marinade

Start by placing all marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well to combine. This blend of flavors will elevate your swordfish!

2. Marinate the Swordfish

Rinse the swordfish steaks in cold water and pat them dry. Keep the skin on! It helps prevent the steaks from falling apart while grilling. Place the fish in a non-reactive dish and cover it with the marinade. Make sure to coat all sides. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

3. Prepare the Grill

Get your grill ready for high direct heat. You’ll know it’s hot enough when you can only keep your hand 1 inch above the grill grates for 1 second. To prevent sticking, wipe the grill grates with a paper towel infused with olive oil.

4. Grill the Swordfish Steaks

Brush off the excess marinade from the swordfish steaks, but don’t remove it all! Place the steaks on the hot grill grates. Grill for about 5 to 7 minutes on one side until you see those beautiful grill marks.

Turn the steaks over and cook for a few more minutes until the fish is just cooked through. Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your grilled swordfish steaks with fresh lemon slices. They add a zesty touch that complements the fish perfectly. Pair it with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
