Ingredients
Fresh Swordfish:
2 pounds
Lemons:
zest and juice divided
Garlic:
1 tablespoon, minced
Extra Virgin Olive Oil:
1/2 cup
Dry Oregano:
1 teaspoon
Kosher or Sea Salt:
1 teaspoon
Black Pepper:
1/2 teaspoon
Italian Flat Leaf Parsley:
1/4 cup, chopped fine
Cold Butter:
4 tablespoons
Instructions
- Cut Swordfish: If you purchased one large two-pound swordfish steak, cut in half to have two equal pieces about 1 ½ inches thick. Place in a gallon zip lock bag.
- Prepare Marinade: In a small bowl, mix lemon zest, garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add half of the marinade to the bag with the swordfish. Seal the bag and let sit for one hour at room temperature.
- Prepare Lemon Sauce: While the swordfish marinates, mix lemon juice and parsley with the reserved half of the marinade for serving.
- Grill Swordfish: Heat grill to high on one side and cool on the other. Clean and oil the grill grates. Grill the swordfish, turning and basting with marinade, until cooked to desired doneness.
- Finish and Serve: Top the cooked swordfish with cold butter. Slice each piece in half to serve with the lemon sauce.
Notes
- Buying fresh swordfish is crucial for the best flavor and texture.
- Ensure the swordfish is thick enough for grilling and adjust cooking time accordingly.
