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
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- 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.
- While the fish is marinating, strip the leaves from the rosemary sprigs and roughly chop them.
- 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.
- While grilling, sprinkle the chopped rosemary leaves over the fish on both sides.
- Carefully remove the swordfish from the grill and transfer it to a serving platter.
- Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs for an extra touch of fragrance and serve hot.
