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.

WONDERFUL
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

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.Read more

Moist, delicious and Easy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a wonderful recipe....so easy and yet so tasty. I added a bit more garlic and marinated the fish for 15 mins before... grilling. Reduced the grilling time since my steaks were pretty thin (3 mins on 1st side, 1.5 mins on 2nd side). Read more

A Delish Quick Meal
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My boyfriend generally dislikes fish, but he enjoyed this meal. And, so did I!!! I would definitely cook this dish again! ... Although, we both agreed on some things we'd do differently next time. You can definitely taste the mint over and above all the other ingredients. Our only recommendation is add more garlic and pepper. Enjoy! Read more

I was looking for something new to do with the mint that is growing in the backyard when I came upon this receipe. It is... just absolutely incredible. I had always liked swordfish but prepared in this manner, I LOVE IT. I have made this dish many many times and it always gets rave reviews. Thank you GiadaRead more

YUM! Love this recipe. Great light and healthy meal. I made extra of the lemon, mint, basil and used it as a "dressing"... for some pasta. Added freshly grated parmigiano reggiano and made for a very tasty dinner. Will do again!Read more
