Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 tsp | Dried parsley |
| 2 tsp | Dried chives |
| 2 tsp | Thyme |
| 1 1/2 tbsp | Olive oil |
| 1 1/2 | Shallots |
| 4 cloves | Garlic |
| 1/2 lb | Linguine |
| 1 1/4 cups | Tomatoes, diced |
| 6 | Black olives, sliced |
| 1 1/2 tsp | Dried basil |
| 1 tsp | Salt |
| 4 | Swordfish steaks |
Instructions:
-
Prepare Herb Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the dried parsley, chives, and thyme. Set aside.
-
Cook Linguine: Cook the linguine according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
-
Prepare Olive Oil Sauce: In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and shallots, sautรฉing until the shallots turn translucent, approximately 3 minutes.
-
Add Tomatoes and Olives: To the skillet, add the diced tomatoes and sliced olives, cooking until heated through.
-
Season with Vinegar and Herbs: Stir in the vinegar, dried basil, and salt, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the sauce.
-
Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly in the olive oil sauce. Keep warm while preparing the swordfish.
-
Prepare Grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, or if using a nonstick ridged grill pan, place it over medium-high heat and spray with nonstick spray.
-
Season Swordfish: Rub each swordfish steak generously with the prepared herb mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
-
Grill Swordfish: Place the seasoned swordfish steaks on the grill or grill pan, approximately 5 inches from the heat source. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque in the center and easily flakes with a fork.
-
Serve: Serve the grilled swordfish steaks over the linguine, spooning any remaining olive oil sauce from the skillet over the top for added flavor.
Enjoy this delightful and healthy meal, perfect for any occasion, and savor the succulent flavors of grilled swordfish complemented by the herb-infused linguine! ๐ฝ๏ธ๐ฟ
