  • 3 pieces garlic
  • ½ tsp. Salt
  • ¼ tsp. pepper

INGREDIENTS NOTES:

SWORDFISH:

  • The quality of swordfish is unrivaled, thus I prefer to get it from a fishmonger. You may buy them at a grocery shop, but to obtain the most freshness, I advise finding the frozen steaks and thawing them.

HOMEMADE MARINADE:

  • Lemon, lemon zest, olive oil, tamari, freshly chopped garlic, salt, and black pepper are some of the flavor enhancers I employ.

BUTTER:

  • Avoid omitting the butter! It gives the steaks even more succulence and keeps the fish from adhering to the grill grates.

GARNISH:

  • The swordfish is finished with a dressing of butter, parsley, and freshly cracked pepper. The appearance is truly enhanced by the lemon wedges on the side.

INSTRUCTION:
  1. Take a bowl and include the lemon zest, tamari, lemon juice, garlic & olive oil and mix them with the whisk.
  2. Pat dry the fish with the paper towel and apply the black pepper powder & salt to both side of the fish.
  3. Transfer the marinade and swordfish in the sealed bag
  4. Allow the sword fish to get marinated for around five mints to eight hours.
  5. A charcoal grill should be heated to medium-high heat. We should also utilize grill pan or cast-iron skillet.
  6. The swordfish steaks should be cooked through after adding the butter and cooking it for three to four minutes on each side.
  7. When the salmon flakes easily and turns opaque, you know it’s done. Additionally, you may check the interior temperature and aim for one-forty-five degrees F.
  8. Take off the heat and apply melted butter on top.
  9. Now your Keto Grilled Swordfish is ready!

I like to cook these swordfish steaks on the grill, but you can prepare them any time of year with this recipe, which I tried using a skillet and oven.

STOVETOP METHOD:

  • The swordfish steaks should be seared for three to four minutes on each side after the butter has been heated in a cast iron skillet or grill pan over moderate-high heat.

OVEN METHOD:

  • The seasoned fish should be placed on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet and baked for twenty minutes at one-eighty degrees C or three-fifty degrees F turning halfway through.

TIPS:

  • If you have a hot grill and clean, well-oiled grates, you may cook the fish without using foil. You are welcome to cook the steaks in foil packets, but be sure to make holes in the top to allow the steam to escape.
  • You may utilize frozen swordfish without fear. Once captured, the fish is flash-frozen, making it very fresh after thawing.
  • When the swordfish’s flesh is solid to the touch, turns opaque on the exterior, and loses its pink center, it’s done. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the interior temperature reaches forty-five degrees F.
  • To add a bright burst of fresh flavor to the marinade, add herbs like dill, cilantro, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, and tarragon.
  • Add ingredients like scallions, red pepper flakes, ginger, sesame oil, or Sriracha to the marinade.
    We can also utilize teriyaki sauce instead of marinade to prepare the fish! As the fish grills, remember to baste it some more.
