Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, combine fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine the ingredients and create your marinade.
Step 2: Marinate the Swordfish
Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Step 3: Preheat the Grill
While the swordfish is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 4: Grill the Swordfish
Remove the swordfish from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5: Serve
Once cooked, remove the swordfish from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
Notes
Note 1: Choosing the Fish
Select fresh swordfish steaks that are firm and moist for the best flavor and texture.
Note 2: Alternative Cooking Methods
If you don’t have a grill, you can also cook the swordfish in a skillet or broil it in the oven.
Note 3: Serving Suggestions
This dish pairs well with a fresh salad, grilled vegetables, or rice.
Note 4: Marinating Time
For a more pronounced flavor, consider marinating the fish for up to 2 hours, but avoid marinating for too long as the acid from the lemon can begin to “cook” the fish.
