An excellent grilled fish recipe that I serve with other grilled vegetables and lemon rice pilaf. Yum! Marinate time is 30 minutes.

Time 42m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 garlic cloves, crushed through a press
1/4 red onions or 1/4 yellow sweet onion, cut into thin vertical slices
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or 1/4 cup basil
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, stripped from stems or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper
4 swordfish steaks, 3/4-inch thick (each steak should be about 1/2 lb. each)
lime wedge (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Combine the first 10 ingredients in a pie plate or some other deep platter; stir well to blend.
  • Add the fish steaks to the marinade; turn over to coat.
  • Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Grill or broil the fish steaks about 3 inches from heat source for 5-7 minutes (time depends on how hot the heat source is), or until lightly browned on one side.
  • Turn steak over and grill or broil for about 5 minutes.
  • Check for doneness, insert the tip of a knife into the thickest part of the steak--fish is done when it changes color from translucent to opaque.
  • Serve steaks on individual plates with lime wedge for garnish.
  • I like to squeeze the lime wedge over the fish for extra POW.
