Grilled Swordfish with Salsa Verde

Ingredients

• 4 swordfish steaks
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup fresh parsley
• 2 tbsp capers
• 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup olive oil (for salsa verde)

Method

1. 1

   Whisk 3 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic, and marinate the swordfish 20-30 minutes — this dense, meaty fish doesn't need a long marinade, and sitting in the acid much longer starts to break down and soften its texture rather than just seasoning it.

2. 2

   Blend parsley, capers, red wine vinegar, and the remaining olive oil for the salsa verde.

3. 3

   Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

4. 4

   Grill the swordfish 4-5 minutes per side until opaque and firm.

5. 5

   Spoon the salsa verde generously over the grilled swordfish before serving.
