Ingredients

  • ¼ cup of olive oil I used Colavita's Garlic Olive Oil as a wonderful addition
  • Juice of half a lemon or 2 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  • 1 teaspoon of oregano
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • ⅓ teaspoon of black pepper
  • 2 2 small swordfish steaks (or 1 large)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place all marinade ingredients in a glass dish or zip lock bag and mix to combine.
  2. Rinse the swordfish in cold water and pat dry. Leave the skin on to hold it together while cooking.
  3. Place the fish the marinade and be sure it is coated well.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes. (longer is fine too)
  5. If you are grilling, preheat your grill until approx. 400-450 degrees. Rub the grill grates with olive oil on a paper towel to keep the fish from sticking. (use tongs to hold the paper towels and not burn your hand)
  6. If you are pan searing, heat a pan on medium high heat. The oil from the marinade will be enough to keep it from sticking.
  7. Cook for about 7 minutes on the first side. Then flip and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes until the fish is just cooked through and white.
  8. Remove from heat and let it rest 5-10 minutes minutes.
  9. ENJOY!!
