Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 swordfish steaks, 8-12 oz. each
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow baking pan and set aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, cayenne, salt, and black pepper until completely emulsified. Stir in parsley and cilantro. Set aside 1/2 cup of the marinade. Pour the remaining marinade over the swordfish in the baking pan, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Turn the swordfish over in the pan halfway through marinating.
  • Grill the swordfish until the flesh flakes easily, about 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Spoon the reserved marinade over the cooked swordfish, and serve immediately.
