How to Make Cajun Style Grilled Swordfish
- Prepare your grill for medium-high heat. You should be able to hold your hand about 6 inches above the grates for 4-5 seconds.
- Lightly brush both sides of each swordfish steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Generously coat both sides of the swordfish steaks with the Cajun spice mixture, ensuring even coverage.
- Place the steaks on the preheated grill. Grill for 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time based on desired doneness and thickness (about 10 minutes per inch). Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions, if desired.
