Ocean’s Delight Grilled Swordfish Steaks

Ocean’s Delight Grilled Swordfish Steaks

Ingredients:

• 4 swordfish steaks (about 1-inch thick, 6-8 ounces each)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Lemon and lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
   In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, fresh lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and sea salt. Whisk the mixture well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

2. Marinate the Swordfish Steaks:
   Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or seal the bag, then refrigerate. Allow the fish to marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours. Flip the steaks halfway through the marinating time to evenly distribute the flavors.

3. Preheat the Grill:
   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Brush the grill grates with a little oil to prevent sticking.

4. Grill the Swordfish Steaks:
   Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the steaks on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F.

5. Rest and Serve:
   Once cooked, remove the swordfish steaks from the grill and allow them to rest for a couple of minutes. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the fish.

6. Garnish and Enjoy:
   Transfer the grilled swordfish steaks to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon and lime wedges on the side for an added citrus burst.

Additional Tips:

• Side Suggestions: Serve the Ocean’s Delight Grilled Swordfish Steaks with a fresh garden salad, grilled vegetables, or a side of couscous for a well-rounded meal.
• Wine Pairing: A crisp, chilled Sauvignon Blanc or a light Pinot Grigio pairs beautifully with the citrus and soy flavors in this recipe.
• Seasonal Variations: You can try adding a dash of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a bit of heat or substituting orange juice for lime juice for a slightly different citrus profile.

With these steps, you’ll achieve perfectly grilled swordfish steaks with a delightful balance of zesty and savory flavors, sure to impress your guests or enjoy as a splendid weeknight meal.
