Steps:
- Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, parsley, garlic, dill, and pepper together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add swordfish and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours; the longer you marinate the fish, the stronger the flavor will be.
- When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove swordfish from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Cook swordfish on the preheated grill until fish is tender and flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Swordfish cooks very quickly and your grill will flare up with this marinade!

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH A CITRUS HERB VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar, orange juice, lemon juice, honey, shallot, orange zest, Dijon, lemon zest and garlic, and season with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper. Whisk to combine. Slowly drizzle in 1 cup of the olive oil in a slow and steady stream to properly emulsify the vinaigrette. Add the chopped mint, basil, parsley, tarragon and cilantro to the vinaigrette and set aside as you prepare the rest of the dish. Preheat a grill to medium-high. Season each swordfish fillet with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the white pepper. Brush with the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil and place on the grill. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, turn over and cook another 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with oregano. Remove the swordfish from the grill and transfer to a room temperature plate. In a large bowl, combine the baby greens, tomatoes, feta cheese and 1/3 cup of the vinaigrette. Toss to combine and divide the salad among the 4 plates with the swordfish. Drizzle a bit of the remaining vinaigrette over each swordfish fillet and serve immediately.

Right before grilling, toss the onions, peppers and mushrooms with the olive oil, salt and pepper. When the grill is hot, grill the swordfish until it is well colored on both sides and the interior is medium (about 3 to 4 minutes per side, total).When you have added the fish to the grill, spread the vegetables along the perimeter of the grill and carefully cook the vegetables without burning.

Steps:
- Pat four 4-6-oz. swordfish steaks (1"-1½" thick) dry with paper towels, then coat with 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil. Season both sides with kosher salt; set aside while you make the dressing.
- Using a sharp chef's knife, trim ends from 1 large lemon; slice into thick rounds and remove seeds. Very finely chop lemon rounds (peel, pith, and flesh) and transfer to a small bowl. (Alternatively, you can pulse in a food processor.) Mix in 5 sprigs oregano, thyme, or marjoram, leaves picked, finely chopped, 2 garlic cloves, finely grated, 1 Tbsp. capers (not drained), 2 tsp. ground coriander, 1 tsp. sugar, and ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir in 6 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. extra-virgin olive oil. Season with freshly ground black pepper and more salt if needed.
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Place reserved swordfish steaks on grill; cover and grill fish, turning once, until flesh is opaque and just cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part should register 130°F for medium-rare) and steaks release easily from grate, 3-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter.
- Spoon some dressing over swordfish and serve with remaining dressing alongside. Do ahead: Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.

Tips:
- Choose the right swordfish: Look for firm, opaque flesh that is light pink or gray in color. Avoid any fish that is slimy or has a strong odor.
- Marinate the swordfish: Marinating the fish in a mixture of citrus juice, olive oil, and herbs will help to tenderize the fish and infuse it with flavor.
- Cook the swordfish over medium heat: Cooking the fish over medium heat will help to prevent it from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Use a grilling basket: A grilling basket will help to keep the fish from sticking to the grill grates and will make it easier to flip.
- Baste the swordfish with the marinade: Basting the fish with the marinade will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Serve the swordfish with a citrus-herb vinaigrette: A citrus-herb vinaigrette is a light and refreshing sauce that will complement the grilled swordfish perfectly.
Conclusion:
Grilled swordfish with a citrus-herb vinaigrette is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The fish is tender and flavorful, and the vinaigrette adds a bright and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
