Ingredients

  • 2 (1 pound) swordfish steaks
  • 3 medium limes juiced (about ¼ cup)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro divided
  • 1 medium lime quartered, for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a bowl, combine the juice of the 3 medium limes and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Pour over the 2 (1 pound) swordfish steaks. Season the steaks with 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and half of the chopped cilantro.
  2. Preheat an outdoor gas grill until very hot, about 500℉. Grill the swordfish for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The actual grilling time might vary depending on the steak's thickness.
  3. Before serving, sprinkle the remaining cilantro and squeeze some fresh lime juice over the steaks if desired.

Notes

  • If you don't have an outdoor grill, fear not! You can also prepare this dish using a grill pan on the stovetop or by broiling it in an oven. Both methods will provide a nice char and flavor to the swordfish.
