Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) swordfish steaks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create a marinade.
Step 2
Rinse and pat dry the swordfish steaks with paper towels, then place them in a shallow dish.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the swordfish steaks, ensuring all sides are well coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade and gently shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Grill the swordfish steaks for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Step 7
Once done, transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the grilled swordfish steaks with lemon wedges and your choice of side dishes, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
