Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Swordfish steaks
• 1 whole Lemon
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Green olives (pitted and sliced)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped)
• 1 small Red onion
• 0.25 cup White wine

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Rinse the swordfish steaks under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Zest and juice the lemon, setting both aside separately.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and finely dice the red onion.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and the lemon zest to create a marinade.

Step 6

Generously brush the marinade onto both sides of the swordfish steaks, ensuring even coverage. Allow the fish to marinate for 10 minutes while prepping the other ingredients.

Step 7

In a baking dish, arrange the swordfish steaks without overlapping. Scatter the diced red onion, sliced olives, and cherry tomatoes around the fish.

Step 8

Pour the lemon juice and white wine over the vegetables and fish to enhance the flavor during baking.

Step 9

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the swordfish reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

Remove the dish from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 11

Serve the Baked Swordfish Manzanillo immediately, pairing it with crusty bread or a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
