馃 Ingredients Swordfish

Swordfish Recipe


  • 2 fresh swordfish steaks (about 6 oz each)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 minced garlic cloves

  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste


馃敧 Instructions Swordfish

  1. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, and minced garlic. Season with salt and black pepper to your liking.

  2. Marinate the Fish: Lay the swordfish steaks in a shallow container. Pour the marinade over the top, cover, and chill for 15–20 minutes to soak up the flavors.

  3. Cook the Swordfish: Warm a grill pan or skillet on medium-high. Take the swordfish out of the marinade and cook each side for about 3–4 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature hits 145°F (63°C).

  4. Serve: Finish by garnishing with fresh parsley and serve hot. Pairs wonderfully with grilled veggies or a crisp green salad.
