Ingredients
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup canola or peanut oil, plus extra for brushing on the grill
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup minced or finely chopped ginger root
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic (4 cloves)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 6 (8-ounce, 1-inch thick) swordfish steaks
- Kosher salt
Directions
Combine the soy sauce, canola oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, ginger root, garlic, and mustard in a bowl. Pour half the sauce in a low flat dish that's just large enough to hold the swordfish in one layer. Place the swordfish on top of the sauce and spread the remaining sauce on top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
Thirty minutes before you're ready to serve, build a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
When the coals are medium-hot, brush the cooking grate with oil to prevent the fish from sticking. Remove the fish from the marinade, allowing some of the ginger to cling to the fish, and discard the marinade. Sprinkle the fish generously on both sides with salt and place it over the coals. Cook for 5 minutes on each side, just until it's no longer pink in the middle. Place on a platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot or warm.

Wonderful marinade. I used it for chicken and actually cooked the chicken in it. Then I removed the chicken and covered to let it rest and added sugar/honey, chopped green onions and a tiny bit of sesame oil and whisked to stir - I then added the leftover "marinade to some stir-fry rice and veggies...YUM! Was a great side to the chicken and would be to any meat used in this marinade. Moral of the story - DON'T THROW OUT THE MARINADE! It is too good and can be used in so many ways!
