The swordfish is a fish found mainly in temperate and tropical seas, called "sword" because of its pointed "beak" that it uses to hunt. This type of fish has always been valued in Mediterranean and Asian cultures for its flavorful and substantial meat.

In many traditional recipes, swordfish is often served with citrus-based sauces, such as a lemon or orange sauce, which enhance its flavor. In addition, it is common to pair it with fresh side dishes such as cucumber, tomato and olive salads, which complement the dish with light and refreshing flavors.

Today, however, we offer a quick and easy recipe where the fish's dense flesh is enhanced by grilling. In fact, grilling is the ideal method for swordfish because it allows it to get a light crust on the outside while keeping its juicy interior.

Instructions

1. Start with the marinade. In a bowl, mix the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and parsley. Then add salt and pepper to taste.

2. Place the swordfish slices in the bowl and massage them with the marinade, making sure they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. You can marinate up to 2 hours for more flavor.

3. Preheat the grill to a high temperature. If you use a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are hot and covered with white ash.

4. Remove the fish slices from the marinade and pat them lightly dry with paper towels to avoid excessive splattering. Grill the swordfish slices for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until well browned and cooked through. The fish should be opaque and easily flaked with a fork.

5. If you wish, you can add a little grated lemon zest during the last minute of cooking for an extra touch of freshness.

6. Serve the grilled swordfish hot, accompanied by side dishes such as fresh salad, grilled vegetables or potatoes.
