Total Time: 50 minutes
Prep Time: 40 minutes (includes marinating)
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 6 swordfish steaks
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons coarse grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup fresh thyme leaves
- 3-4 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
-
Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, finely chopped shallots, minced garlic, coarse grain mustard, extra virgin olive oil, and fresh thyme leaves. Season the mixture generously with fresh ground black pepper to taste.
-
Marinate the Swordfish: Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow bowl or dish. Pour the prepared marinade over the steaks, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the swordfish marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. For a more intense flavor, you can also refrigerate the marinating swordfish for several hours.
-
Preheat the Grill: While the swordfish is marinating, set up your gas or charcoal grill. Brush the grill rack with a bit of oil to prevent sticking and ensure a good sear on the fish.
-
Grill the Swordfish: Once the grill is preheated, arrange the marinated swordfish steaks on the rack. Grill for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is nicely seared on the outside and cooked through. The swordfish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork when fully cooked.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Remove the swordfish from the grill and let it rest for a minute or two before serving. Enjoy your delicious Lemon Thyme Swordfish with a side of fluffy rice and freshly steamed broccoli.
