Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 c low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 c canolo or peanut oil, plus extra for brushing the grill
2 tsp grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
1/4 c freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 c minced or finely chopped fresh ginger
2 Tbsp minced garlic (4 cloves)
2 Tbsp dijon mustard
6 swordfish steaks (8 oz each and 1 inch thick)
kosher salt

Steps:

1. Combine the soy sauce, canola oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, and mustard in a bowl. Pour half of the sauce into a low, flat dish that is just big enough to hold the swordfish in one layer. Put the swordfish on top of the sauce and spread the remaining sauce over the tops. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferrably overnight.
2. Heat up your grill and brush the cooking grate with some oil to prevent the fish from sticking. Remove fish from the marinade, allowing some of the ginger to stick to the fish, and discard the marinade. Sprinkle the fish, on both sides, with salt and place it on the grill. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, just until it is no longer pink in the middle. Place the fish on a platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes. Enjoy!

1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup canola or peanut oil, plus extra for brushing on the grill
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup minced or finely chopped ginger root
2 tablespoons minced garlic (4 cloves)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
6 (8-ounce, 1-inch thick) swordfish steaks
Kosher salt

Steps:

Combine the soy sauce, canola oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, ginger root, garlic, and mustard in a bowl. Pour half the sauce in a low flat dish that's just large enough to hold the swordfish in one layer. Place the swordfish on top of the sauce and spread the remaining sauce on top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. Thirty minutes before you're ready to serve, build a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill. When the coals are medium-hot, brush the cooking grate with oil to prevent the fish from sticking. Remove the fish from the marinade, allowing some of the ginger to cling to the fish, and discard the marinade. Sprinkle the fish generously on both sides with salt and place it over the coals. Cook for 5 minutes on each side, just until it's no longer pink in the middle. Place on a platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot or warm

Steps:

Combine the soy sauce, canola oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, ginger root, garlic, and mustard in a bowl. Pour half the sauce in a low flat dish that's just large enough to hold the swordfish in one layer. Place the swordfish on top of the sauce and spread the remaining sauce on top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for no longer than 2 hours - otherwise fish will be mushy. Thirty minutes before you're ready to serve, build a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill. When the coals are medium-hot, brush the cooking grate with oil to prevent the fish from sticking. Remove the fish from the marinade, allowing some of the ginger to cling to the fish, and discard the marinade. Sprinkle the fish generously on both sides with salt and place it over the coals. Cook for 5 minutes on each side, just until it's no longer pink in the middle. Place on a platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot or warm.
