easy grilled swordfish

How to cook moist grilled swordfish with a simple, flavorful lemon herb marinade. A quick, healthy meal great for weeknight dinner or company.

Grilled Swordfish

(6- swordfish

olive oil

soy sauce

sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar

garlic (about 3 cloves)

oregano

lemons

Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (for serving)

Kosher salt (for serving)

Oil (for grilling)

Whisk

Pat the swordfish dry on both sides. In a shallow dish just large enough to hold the swordfish in a snug, even layer, place the olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and oregano. Zest in both of the lemons, then juice 1 of the lemons into the marinade. Whisk to combine. Slice the second lemon in half crosswise and reserve for grilling.

Marinate

Add the swordfish steaks to the dish and turn to coat in the marinade. Let rest 10 to 15 minutes (do not let sit more than 20 minutes, or the acid will start to break down the fish). Halfway through, flip the swordfish over.

Grill

Heat a gas grill or charcoal grill to medium-high (about 375 to 400 degrees F; you can also cook the fish under the oven broiler). Scrape the grill grates very clean, then oil to prevent sticking. Grill the swordfish for 4 to 5 minutes per side, just until it registers 135 degrees F on an instant read thermometer and is no longer pink in the center. Transfer to a plate and cover. Let rest 10 minutes.

At the same time you are grilling the swordfish, grill the lemon halves by placing them cut-side down on the grill. Cook until char marks appear, about 6 minutes.

Squeeze

Sprinkle the rested swordfish with herbs and a pinch of kosher salt. Squeeze the grilled lemon over the top. Enjoy hot.

Simple Grilled Swordfish with Garlic Soy Marinade makes an easy and tasty supper.

Grilled Swordfish with Garlic Soy Marinade

swordfish

tbsp soy sauce,

garlic clove,

brown rice vinegar

tsp honey

ginger

Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl: soy sauce, garlic clove, olive oil, brown rice vinegar, honey and ginger.

Gently toss the swordfish with the soy garlic mixture so that it well-coated, and let the fish rest in the marinade for about 5 minutes.

Remove the swordfish from the marinade, scraping the larger bits of garlic off–leaving a bit on is good though. Reserve the marinade. Place the swordfish on the grill on direct, medium-high heat, and cover.

Grill for 6 minutes, then flip it to the other side. Brush some of the reserved marinade to coat the cooked side of the fish. Grill for another 6 minutes. This timing was perfect for our swordfish, but check for doneness as cooking time will vary based on the heat of your grill and size of the swordfish. Don’t overcook the fish–it should be cooked through but still nice and moist.

When cooked to your liking, remove the swordfish from the grill and place on platter to rest for a few minutes. Cut into serving portions, plate and enjoy.

I absolutely love swordfish and the way you've grilled it here looks seriously delicious!!

Mmm, I love swordfish. Such a great fish. This marinade sounds amazing. Looks like I have a new dinner recipe for this week!

I'm thinking next Friday night. :-) You're right I'm always tempted to get take-out on Friday's, but I must say once I cook, I'm happier for it. This recipe looks SO delicious!

Love that you served this delicious swordfish with quinoa! This would be perfect for me! I am mostly a vegetarian but I eat fish once or twice a month, and when I do this is exactly the kind of meal I love to have!! I am pinning for later!

Not only do I love how quick and easy this is to make, but I also love how incredibly delicious it looks! Definitely needs to go on the dinner menu!

Your recipe makes me really want to sit down to some delicious fish and enjoy dinner. I have to tell you I have been so busy at work I didn't eat...but this looks wonderful and is calling my name.

Wow! I love how easy this is to make! I would always be scared to make swordfish but this makes me want to take a crack at it! Defiantly adding this to the menu this week!

I love swordfish, but have never prepared it at home. Seems pretty simple! Excited to give it a try! Thanks for the share!
