Ingredients

  • 4 swordfish steaks (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Lime slices for garnish
  • Extra basil leaves for garnish

Мethod of preparation

Begin your culinary adventure by whisking together olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, chopped basil, and minced garlic in a bowl. Season your swordfish steaks with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and place them in a shallow dish. Pour the basil-lime marinade over the steaks, ensuring they're well-coated. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor infusion. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the swordfish from the marinade, gently shaking off excess. Grill each steak for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the fish is beautifully charred and cooked through, highlighting the steak-like quality of the swordfish. Serve the swordfish steaks garnished with lime slices and additional basil leaves, allowing the vibrant colors to complement the rich flavors. This dish doesn't just cater to the taste buds; it's a visual delight, promising a memorable dining experience with every bite.
