Ingredients
Instructions
4 (6-ounce) swordfish steaks, about 1-inch thick
1/4 cup of rich extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 cup of finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
3 cloves of fragrant garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of vibrant lime zest
1/2 teaspoon of coarse kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon of finely ground black pepper
Pat the 4 swordfish steaks completely dry with paper towels to ensure a perfect sear.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup of rich extra virgin olive oil and 3 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice.
Add the 1/2 cup of finely chopped fresh cilantro, 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of vibrant lime zest, 1/2 teaspoon of coarse kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of finely ground black pepper to the bowl. Whisk vigorously until the marinade is well combined.
Place the dried swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or a large resealable bag.
Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each steak is fully coated. Let it marinate at room temperature for exactly 10 minutes—any longer and the lime’s acid will start to ‘cook’ the fish. (Tip #1: Room temp marinating is key here for quick, even flavor absorption without altering the texture.)
While the fish marinates, preheat your grill pan or outdoor grill to a medium-high heat of 400°F.
Once hot, carefully place the marinated swordfish steaks on the grill. Discard any remaining marinade.
Cook the swordfish for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side, until you see prominent grill marks and the edges turn opaque.
Using a sturdy spatula, carefully flip each steak. Cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes on the second side. (Tip #2: Swordfish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F—use a meat thermometer to avoid guesswork.)
Transfer the cooked swordfish to a clean plate. Let it rest for 3 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. (Tip #3: This resting period is non-negotiable for a moist, tender result.)
