- 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)
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.
