Photo: Grilled Swordfish with Lemon, Mint and Basil Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 (5 to 6-ounces each) swordfish steaks
Directions
Prepare the grill (medium-high heat). Whisk the oil, mint, lemon juice, basil, and garlic in a medium bowl to blend. Season the lemon and olive oil mixture with salt and pepper, to taste.
Brush the swordfish steaks with 2 tablespoons of the lemon and olive oil mixture. Grill the steaks until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side (depending on thickness of steaks). Transfer the steaks to plates. Spoon the remaining sauce over and serve.

Perfectly simple! I was in a hurry and was worried that I might have needed more time to marinade this...but you don't! You can still taste the fish and the seasoning just accentuates the flavor...I added a small foil pouch with some applewood chips to my gas grill for some more added flavor. My wife and I loved this recipe...it's a keeper...thanks Giada!

A simple recipe but with an amazing combination of ingredients. In my case, I mix oil with herbs and marinate the fish 2 hours before cooking. In my version, I decided to add the zest of one lemon and 1 / 2 cup white wine to the marinade. I decided to change the fish. I used tilapia fillets instead of swordfish.

HOW CAN SOMETHING SO SIMPLE BE SO DELICIOUS? I PICKED THIS RECIPE BECAUSE IT WAS MY HUSBAND'S NIGHT TO COOK SO I WANTED SOMETHING EASY FOR HIM. I READ ALL THE REVIEWS BUT I STILL DIDN'T THINK IT COULD BE THAT GOOD WITH SO FEW INGREDIENTS. WRONG! I PAIRED THIS WITH PAULA DEEN'S "GARLIC GRILLED TOMATOES" WHICH ARE ALSO SUPER DELISH.
UPDATE: I MADE KABOBS AND SMOKED THE SWORDFISH ON THE BIG GREEN EGG. GOD - HOLD ONTO YOUR HATS. ABSOLUTELY DIVINE.
