Best Recipe for Sicilian Grilled Swordfish
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup good olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano leaves or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 (1/2-inch-thick) swordfish steaks (5 to 6 ounces each)
- 4 ounces baby arugula
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Light a charcoal grill or preheat a gas or stovetop grill until very hot.
- For the sauce, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.

Remove to a flat dish, prick holes in the fish with the tines of a fork, and pour the lemon sauce over the fish while it¿s still hot. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
