Name: Grilled Swordfish Steaks with Lemon-Parsley Sauce

Why This Recipe Works

For the best swordfish recipe, our first step was to choose thicker steaks. Thinner steaks overcooked easily, while thicker pieces retained moisture better and were easier to handle on the grill. For our grilled swordfish steaks recipe, we found it was important to leave the fish in place long enough so that it developed good grill marks before moving it. A two-level fire was necessary so the fish could sear over the hot fire and then cook through on the cooler part of the grill.

Instructions

Combine the oil, parsley, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Set the sauce aside.
