Enjoy a tasty and easy-to-make grilled swordfish dish infused with the wonderful aroma of rosemary. This recipe is perfect for seafood lovers who crave a delightful combination of flavors. The swordfish is marinated with fresh herbs, garlic, and olive oil to enhance its natural taste. Grilled to perfection, the fish becomes tender and juicy, with a subtle hint of rosemary throughout. Serve it alongside a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a satisfying and healthy meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs fresh swordfish steaks
  • 4 sprigs of fresh rosemary
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  3. Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Use your hands to coat the fish evenly. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes at room temperature.
  4. While the fish is marinating, strip the leaves from the rosemary sprigs and roughly chop them.
  5. Once the grill is hot, place the swordfish steaks directly on the grates. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. While grilling, sprinkle the chopped rosemary leaves over the fish on both sides.
  7. Carefully remove the swordfish from the grill and transfer it to a serving platter.
  8. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs for an extra touch of fragrance and serve hot.
