Mediterranean Swordfish

Recipes

Ingredients

  • 4 Swordfish Steaks

  • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, more for later

  • 1 tsp coriander

  • ¾ tsp cumin

  • ½ to 1 teaspoon sweet Spanish paprika

  • ¾ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

  • Crushed red pepper, optional

Directions

  1. Dab the swordfish steaks until they’re dry and position them in a pan (or any dish with raised edges). Generously slather the marinade on both sides and let it sit for roughly 15 minutes as you preheat the grill.

  2. Crank up a gas grill to high heat and oil the grates beforehand.

  3. Once it’s heated, sear the fish steaks on high heat for about 5 minutes on one side, flip them over once, and continue grilling on the other side for approximately 3 minutes. The fish should easily flake but still retain its firmness. You might notice a slight pink hue on the inside, but it should be fully cooked by the time it’s served.

  4. Drizzle some fresh lemon juice and, if you prefer a bit of spice, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes.
