Ingredients

• 2 pieces (6-8 ounces each) Swordfish steaks
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 (for serving) Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.

Step 3

Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, but no longer than 1 hour, to prevent the fish from becoming too acidic.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Place the swordfish steaks on the hot grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, flipping once, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Transfer the grilled swordfish to a serving plate and let it rest for 2 minutes.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a light salad.
