Ingredients
- ⅓ cup white wine
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- 4 swordfish steaks
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (Optional)
- 4 slices lemon, for garnish (Optional)
Instructions
- To prepare the marinade, simply combine the wine, lemon juice, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper in a glass dish, stirring until well blended. This mixture will create a flavorful base for marinating the swordfish.
- Place the swordfish steaks in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for an hour, turning occasionally to allow the flavors to infuse evenly.
- Heat the outdoor grill to high and brush the grate with a light coat of oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill the swordfish steaks for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the fish is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork. Discard the marinade. To ensure doneness, check that an instant-read thermometer reads at least 145°F (63°C) in the center of each steak.
- Top the grilled swordfish steaks with fresh parsley and serve alongside lemon wedges for a bright, flavorful finish.
