Instructions
-
Prepare the Swordfish
Begin by brushing both sides of the swordfish steaks with olive oil. This step ensures that the fish remains moist and flavorful while grilling. -
Season the Fish
Sprinkle both sides of the fish with seasoned salt, garlic pepper, and oregano. The oregano gives the fish a fresh, herby flavor, while the garlic pepper and seasoned salt enhance the overall taste of the dish. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your personal preference. -
Grill the Swordfish
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the swordfish steaks on the grill and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Grill until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). The grilling time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish. -
Serve and Enjoy
Once grilled to perfection, remove the swordfish steaks from the grill and serve immediately. Pair with a light salad or roasted vegetables for a complete, low-carb meal.
Recipe Notes:
- The key to this dish is using fresh, high-quality swordfish steaks. Thicker cuts of fish may require a little more time on the grill, while thinner cuts will cook faster.
- If you prefer a bit more heat, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the oregano and garlic pepper.
- This dish is naturally low in carbohydrates, making it an excellent choice for those following a low-carb or keto diet.
