Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 swordfish steaks, about 1-inch thick
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (natural)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 2 slices smoked turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lemon juice, chopped oregano, minced garlic, olive oil, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), sea salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed to ensure the marinade is bright and well-balanced.
  2. Marinate the Swordfish: Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, making sure all pieces are evenly coated. Refrigerate and allow the fish to marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours to soak up the flavors.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high. Clean and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking and to help achieve attractive grill marks on the swordfish steaks.
  4. Grill the Swordfish: Place the marinated swordfish steaks on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking to keep the fish juicy and tender.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the grilled swordfish to a serving platter. Drizzle with any remaining marinade or a fresh squeeze of lemon juice (natural). Garnish with freshly chopped oregano and, if desired, sprinkle with crumbled smoked turkey bacon for added texture and smoky aroma.

Notes

  • Choose fresh, firm, and moist swordfish steaks with no off odors for best results.
  • Do not marinate the swordfish for longer than 2 hours to maintain texture.
  • Allow the fish to come to room temperature for 15 minutes before grilling to ensure even cooking.
  • Brush the grill grates and swordfish with olive oil before grilling to prevent sticking.
  • Use a flexible fish spatula to gently flip the fish and avoid breaking it.
