Ingredients
If you purchased one large two-pound
swordfish steak, cut in half to have two equal pieces about 1 ½ inches
thick. Place in a gallon zip lock bag.
In a small bowl mix lemon zest, garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper.
Mix and add only half of this liquid to the bag with the swordfish. Seal the bag and let sit for one hour at room temperature.
While the swordfish sits for the hour, add
the lemon juice (about ¼ cup of lemon juice) and parsley to the reserved
half of the liquid and set aside to serve with the cooked fish.
Heat outdoor grill to high on one side and cool on the other.
Clean and oil the grill grates.
Remove the swordfish from the bag and brush
off any garlic or zest and place the two pieces on the hot side of the
oiled grill. Brush some of the liquid from the bag over the fish as it
cooks.
Cook two minutes and turn each piece one
quarter turn to get cross hatch marks. Cook two more minutes then flip.
After two more minutes turn one quarter turn and cook two minutes.
(Total of eight minutes so far.)
Take a sheet of foil and fold four times and
place on the cool side of the grill. The foil once folded, should be big
enough to hold the swordfish.
After the eight minutes of searing both
sides, move the swordfish to the foil and close the cover. Try to keep a
consistent temperature of 350 degrees F. in your grill.
From here you will cook for 1-6 more minutes
based on how thick your steaks are. Our 1 ½ inch swordfish steaks
cooked for exactly six more minutes for a grand total of 14 minutes. If
your steaks are thinner, this last cook time on the foil will be less.
You are looking for an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Do not overcook.
As soon as they come off, place the four tablespoons of cold butter over the top to melt in as you serve.
To serve, cut each piece in half to yield four servings and serve with the sauce made earlier on the side or over each portion.
