A flavorful and easy-to-make grilled swordfish recipe, perfect for a summer dinner for two.
Pat the swordfish steaks dry with a paper towel.
Drying the fish helps the marinade adhere better and ensures even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, chopped basil, diced onion, salt, and pepper.
Whisk the marinade thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Place the swordfish steaks in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated.
Use a shallow dish if needed to ensure the fish is evenly covered.
Cover and refrigerate the marinating fish for 1 hour.
Marinating for at least an hour allows the flavors to penetrate the fish.
Preheat the grill to high heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the swordfish steaks for 4 minutes on one side.
Avoid moving the fish too much to achieve nice grill marks.
Flip the steaks and grill for another 4 minutes.
Check for doneness by ensuring the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the fish moist.
Serve the grilled swordfish with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Garnish with a slice of lime or a sprig of basil for a fresh touch.
