Prepare the Marinade:
Start by washing and drying the parsley thoroughly. Once dry, finely chop the parsley and set it aside. -
Make the Marinade:
In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped parsley with the extra virgin olive oil. Add salt to taste, ensuring it blends well with the oil. Use a hand whisk, or if you have one, a flat whisk to emulsify the oil and salt mixture, ensuring the salt dissolves completely. -
Add Flavorings:
Squeeze the juice of the two lemons directly into the bowl, discarding any seeds. Mix well. Then, add the oregano leaves to the marinade, stirring them into the mixture. -
Marinate the Swordfish:
Carefully place the swordfish fillets into the marinade. Make sure they are fully submerged and coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. -
Cooking the Swordfish:
After marinating, remove the swordfish fillets from the refrigerator and discard the plastic wrap. Let the fillets drain slightly, reserving the marinade for later use. -
Grill the Swordfish:
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, place the swordfish fillets on the pan. Cook the fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, flipping them only once, until they are golden and cooked through. -
Serve:
Transfer the cooked swordfish to serving plates and drizzle with the remaining marinade. Garnish with additional fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
Enjoy this refreshing and flavorful grilled swordfish, perfect for a summer dinner or a light, healthy meal.
