Ingredients
- 2 swordfish steaks - sliced no more that 1-inch thick
- 4 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh sage chopped fine
- ½ teaspoon salt or qb quanto basta to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper qb (quanta basta) to taste
- Fresh Italian parsley and lemon juice to finish.
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- If you like you can make it like my mamma, put a small amount of pesto on the plate and put the fish on top. Drizzle a little bit of fresh lemon juice on top.
