Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality swordfish steaks. Look for steaks that are firm and have a mild, slightly sweet smell. Avoid steaks that are discolored or have a strong fishy odor.
- Use a sharp knife to score the swordfish steaks. This will help the marinade penetrate the fish and cook it evenly.
- Marinate the swordfish steaks for at least 30 minutes. This will help to infuse them with flavor and keep them moist during cooking.
- Grill the swordfish steaks over medium-high heat. This will help to sear the outside of the fish and cook it evenly on the inside.
- Cook the swordfish steaks to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the fish is cooked through but still moist and flaky.
- Serve the swordfish steaks with a citrus-herb vinaigrette. This will add a bright, refreshing flavor to the fish.
Conclusion:
Grilled swordfish with a citrus-herb vinaigrette is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The fish is cooked to perfection and the vinaigrette adds a bright, refreshing flavor. This recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
