Easy grilled swordfish recipe that utilizes a delicious Mediterranean marinade with cumin, fresh garlic cloves and more. But you don't even need to leave it in the marinade too long! Just a few minutes while your grill is heating!

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 to 12 garlic cloves, peeled

  • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, more for later

  • 1 teaspoon coriander

  • ¾ teaspoon cumin

  • ½ to 1 teaspoon sweet Spanish paprika

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 4 swordfish steaks, about 5 to 6 ounces each, from sustainable sources

  • Crushed red pepper, optional

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a food processor, blend the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, spices, salt and pepper for about three minutes or until well-combined forming a thick and smooth marinade.

  2. Pat the swordfish steaks dry and place them in a pan (or a dish with sides to it) and apply the marinade generously on both sides and set aside for 15 minutes or so while you heat the grill.

  3. Preheat a gas grill on high (be sure to oil the grates before using). When ready, grill the fish steaks on high heat for 5 to 6 minutes on one side, turn over once and grill on the other side for 3 minutes or so (the fish should flake easily, while maintain firmness. You will likely see a bit of pink on the inside, but it should cook through by the time it gets to the table).

  4. Finish with a splash of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes if you like heat. Enjoy!
