Ingredients

• 4 pieces Swordfish steaks
• 0.25 cup Fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Lime zest
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lime zest, grated ginger, minced garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to form the marinade.

Step 2

Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the swordfish, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 3

Preheat your grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.

Step 5

Cook the swordfish steaks for 4-5 minutes per side, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

Remove the swordfish from the grill or pan and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Discard any remaining marinade.

Step 7

Garnish the swordfish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
