Grilled Italian Marinated Swordfish

"This is an excellent way to prepare swordfish. The fish turns out flavorful and moist. I made this dish one night paired with my Skillet Italian Herbed Country Potatoes and fresh corn on the cob. A delicious summertime meal! Please note preparation time does not include time required to marinate."

  1. Great marinade and recipe - used dry herbs and it turned out fine. I'll try this on chicken and salmon, too.<br/><br/>THANKS
     
  2. Halibut and swordfish are worlds apart in texture and taste.
     
  3. This was tremendous. Use only fresh ingredients. I cannot stress this enough. We used the sage and rosemary from our garden and fresh thyme and garlic from the store. Swordfish from our local fish market. It literally blew us away. One thing we didn't do is add the lemon juice to the marinade. Makes for easily overcooked fish. We added it after flipping on the grill and only a little bit... say 1/2 teaspoon for each 3/4 lb steak. Yes there are leftovers and yes, oh yes it will be amazing. Served with grill steamed brussel sprouts (s&p only), large portabella mushroom (plain) cap slices and complementary herbed rice w/ a tad of rice vinegar. What an exemplary dinner and at best it took 30-35 minutes to prepare in total.
     
  4. Very good marinade, been using this recipe for years using dried herbs
     
  5. My wife and I both loved this marinade! We don't have a grill, so we used a cast-iron skillet to sear and broil.

  1. I used halibut steaks which have similar flavor to swordfish, but are much MUCH lower in mercury.

<p>My name is Rebecca, but my family and friends call me Becky. I am&nbsp;33 years old and live in Rochester, New York, USA. I am a life-long resident of Western New York and can't say as I'd ever want to live anywhere else. I grew up on a small dairy farm in rural Western New York and love country living. Although my husband and I live in a suburb right now, we hope someday to move back to our roots and live a peaceful country life. <br /><br />My husband and I have been married for 10 years.&nbsp; We have a beautiful 5-year-old&nbsp;daughter and a 3-year-old&nbsp;son.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am amazed at how quickly our kids are&nbsp;growing and developing.&nbsp; I read a lot about and hold my own personal skepticism regarding the affects of additives such as&nbsp;preservatives,&nbsp;hormones, artificial colorings, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, allergens, etc.&nbsp; With the increasing number of children and adults with food allergies, I am suspicious that the last century&nbsp;of our nation's food industry improvements have contributed.&nbsp; I'm doing the best I can to protect my family&nbsp;from the risks, but it is difficult to avoid every additive.&nbsp; I have friends and family with food allergies and know how difficult it is to cope with food restrictions. I enjoy the challenge of&nbsp;cooking for those with food allergies but can't imagine making it an every-day affair.</p> 8727502"
