Swordfish Recipe: Barbecue and Plancha

Ingredients:

• 1 pound fresh swordfish steak
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or oregano), chopped

Instructions:

1. Start by marinating the swordfish. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and black pepper.
2. Place the swordfish steak in a plate, pour the marinade over it, and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
3. Prepare your grill or plancha. Heat it up to medium-high temperature.
4. Clean the grill or plancha with a brush to remove any debris. Wipe with a clean cloth or paper towel to avoid sticking.
5. Place the swordfish on the grill or plancha and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, flipping it only once.
6. Make sure the internal temperature of the swordfish reaches 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption. You can use a digital thermometer to check.
7. Remove the swordfish from the grill or plancha and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
8. Serve the swordfish slices on a platter, garnished with lemon wedges and more fresh herbs if desired.

This swordfish recipe is simple yet flavorful. The marinade enhances the natural buttery taste of the swordfish while the herbs and garlic add a subtle Mediterranean touch. Cooking it on the grill or plancha gives a nice charred exterior and a juicy and tender interior. Perfect for a quick and healthy meal that will please both fish lovers and BBQ enthusiasts.
