Mediterranean Grilled Swordfish with Lemon Caper Sauce

Healthy Fact of the Day

Swordfish is an excellent source of selenium, a mineral that acts as an antioxidant in the body. It's also rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health.

Ingredients

 

  • 4 swordfish steaks (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp dried oregano

 

For the Lemon Caper Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 2 tbsp capers, drained
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Zest of 1 lemon

  1. Brush swordfish steaks with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Let marinate for 30 minutes.

  2. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

  3. Grill swordfish for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

  4. While fish is grilling, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan, combine lemon juice, white wine, capers, and garlic.

  5. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
    Remove from heat and whisk in butter until melted and sauce is creamy.

  6. Stir in chopped parsley and lemon zest.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
