How to Make Ginger Lemon And Garlic Swordfish Steak

  1. In a small bowl, mash 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger and 2 cloves of minced garlic to form a paste.
  2. Add the juice of 1 lemon, 2 chopped spring onions (white and green parts), 1-2 finely chopped red chili (adjust to your spice preference), and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Add 2 (6-ounce) swordfish steaks to the marinade, ensuring they are coated evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer is better!).
  4. Preheat your grill to high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade and place them on the preheated grill.
  6. Grill for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Turn the steaks only once during grilling.
  7. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the cooked swordfish steaks.
  8. Serve immediately with roasted or boiled new potatoes, lime wedges, and a fresh mixed green salad.
