Grilled Marinated Swordfish Italian Style

swordfish

olive oil

Tablespoon balsamic vinegar

lemon juice

garlic (minced)

thyme (chopped)

rosemary (chopped)

sage (chopped fine)

black pepper

Italian parsley and lemon juice

Place swordfish steaks in a zip-lock bag, leaving the bag unsealed.

In a small bowl, combine the 4 Tablespoons of olive oil and remaining ingredients to make the marinade.

Pour the marinade into the bag with the fish, squishing the liquid around the fish until it is coated.

Seal the bag, squeezing, to release as much air as possible.

Marinate in refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours and several times gently squeezing the bag so the marinade covers the fish.

Spray the grill racks with vegetable spray.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade.

Once the grill is searing hot place the fish on the rack and grill on each side for 3 to 5 minutes or until center of steaks are cooked through and the fish flakes easily when forked. Do not overcook. Remember the fish continues to cook once it is off the grill

Place the fish on a platter and squeeze a little bit of fresh lemon on top. Sprinkle with fresh Italian parsley.

My favorite way to prepare fish is by grilling, and that marinade sounds so flavorful. I especially love the idea of placing the fish on top of the pesto, and the addition of lemon and herbs has my mouth watering. This sounds like a great summer meal!

Such a gorgeous recipe, Marisa, and so perfect for summer! Of all the things we cook on the grill during the season, swordfish has to be my favorite. It's so meaty, and elegant, and satisfying. I love the flavors in your marinade--such a great use of the herb garden that must pair so well with that beautiful fish. So definitely making this after my next trip to the seafood market!

The swordfish looks amazing! Those grilled marks are pure perfection. I love your use of fresh herbs for this recipe. Simple and perfect to serve al fresco to company.

This swordfish looks absolutely wonderful.  I love that you used fresh herbs to add flavor, and those grill marks are perfect!

I've only had swordfish once before... it just feels more like a fancy restaurant thing so being able to make it at home is sort of mind blowing to me haha I bet its pretty incredible

Yum! Anything with pesto and I'm game! I've actually never tried swordfish! I saw some at a sushi restaurant recently (raw) and was not brave enough to try it. I think I'd much rather try it grilled and with pesto first!

I love reading your post, Marisa especially things about your mom and wonderful Italian lifestyle. Love the flavors you have going in this fish recipe. Sage does go so well with swordfish. Can't wait to try this soon.

I love swordfish and this recipe has my mouthwatering!!! Simple marinade loaded with fresh ingredients and I love this spin on the flavor. Beautifully seasoned and I love how mama does it up :)

Quick Garlic Shrimp Scampi Recipe

shrimp

unsalted butter

red pepper flakes (optional)

dry white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc or low-sodium chicken broth)

lemon juice (plus wedges for serving)

parsley

Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Prep shrimp

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, then season evenly with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper to enhance their natural flavor.

Sear the shrimp

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large non-reactive skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until they turn opaque and are just cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet immediately to prevent overcooking and set aside on a plate.

Make the sauce

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet. Sauté the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2 minutes, allowing it to reduce by half. Stir in the lemon juice to add brightness to the sauce.

Finish

Return the cooked shrimp along with any accumulated juices on the plate to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat the shrimp evenly in the flavorful sauce. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Serve

Serve the shrimp scampi hot, spooned over cooked pasta or alongside crusty bread for dipping. Garnish with lemon wedges to squeeze over the top for an extra citrusy kick.
