Description
Grilled Swordfish is a seafood lover’s dream — firm, meaty, and full of bold flavor. Perfectly seared on the outside and tender inside, this quick and easy recipe will teach you how to grill swordfish to perfection every time.
Ingredients
4 swordfish steaks (about 6 oz each)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp fresh thyme or oregano
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Lemon wedges, for serving
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, thyme, salt, and pepper.
3. Brush both sides of the swordfish steaks with the marinade and let sit for 10–15 minutes.
4. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
5. Grill swordfish for 3–4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until grill marks form and fish is opaque throughout.
6. Remove from heat and let rest for 2–3 minutes.
7. Serve with lemon wedges and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Do not overcook swordfish — it should be just opaque in the center for the best texture.
Add a drizzle of garlic butter or a spoonful of chimichurri for extra flavor.
Pair with grilled vegetables, rice pilaf, or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
