Provided by á-174942

Number Of Ingredients 8

MARINADE:
4 shark or swordfish steaks
1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 garlic clove minced
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Swordfish Steaks: Select firm, opaque steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a mild, slightly salty smell.
  • Prepare the Marinade: Use a flavorful marinade to enhance the taste of the swordfish. Combine olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices in a bowl and whisk well.
  • Marinate the Swordfish: Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are white-hot.

  • Let the Swordfish Rest: Remove the swordfish from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
