Ingredients
- 2 swordfish steaks about 6 to 8 ounces each
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- pinch sea salt
- pinch black pepper
- Lemon wedges for serving
- fresh parlsey for garnish
Instructions
- First, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Or, use a grill pan on the stovetop.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
- Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade in. Make sure the steaks are evenly coated. Let them marinate for 20 to 30 minutes. If in a hurry, 10 minutes is fine.
- While the swordfish is marinating, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. If using a grill pan, skip this step.
- Once the grill is ready, take the swordfish out of the marinade. Let any excess marinade drip off.
- Place the swordfish steaks on the preheated grill. Grill the steaks for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the steaks, so watch closely.
- Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill. Let them rest for 1 minute.
- Finally, serve the swordfish steaks with lemon wedges and fresh parsley.

Notes
- Choose swordfish steaks that are about 6 to 8 ounces each.
- Marinate for 20 to 30 minutes for optimal flavor. If you only have 10 minutes, that is sufficient.
- The thickness of your swordfish will determine the cooking time. Watch closely to avoid overcooking.
- The swordfish should have an internal temperature of 130 to 135 degrees Fahrenheit before letting it rest.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
