How to Make Grilled Swordfish | Lemon Basil Marinated Fish Steak | Amazing Grilled Swordfish

Make the marinade by whisking together 0.5 cups of extra virgin olive oil, 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of dijon mustard, and 3 cloves of crushed fresh garlic until smooth and evenly colored.

Ball up 1.5 cups of basil leaves in your hand, roll them up zigzag style, and chop them up.

Add the chopped basil to the marinade and stir evenly.

Place the swordfish steak into a ziploc bag and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it is covered evenly. Let it marinate for 3 hours, but do not exceed that time to avoid the lemon juice cooking the fish.

Preheat the grill and prepare lemons by cutting them in half for grilling face down.

Slice the white onion into discs and rings to create a base for the fish on the grill, which will add flavor and prevent sticking.

Place the marinated swordfish on the grill over the onion slices to cook.

Grill the fish just enough to get grill marks, ensuring it does not stick to the grill.

Once cooked, squeeze additional lemon juice over the fish and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
