Ingredients
- Swordfish : 2 slices 1-2 cm thick
- Garlic : 2 cloves
- Parsley : 1 sprig
- Lemon : 1
- Extra virgin olive oil : to taste
- Salt : to taste
- Pepper : to taste
- Cherry tomatoes (to accompany): to taste
- Yogurt sauce (optional): to taste
Procedure
- Marinade preparation :
- Finely chop the parsley and garlic cloves.
- In a bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, the chopped parsley and garlic and the filtered lemon juice. Add salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.
- Marinate the fish :
- Arrange the swordfish slices in a baking dish large enough so that they do not overlap.
- Pour the marinade over the fish, reserving a couple of tablespoons. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for about 2 hours.
- Cooking the fish :
- Heat a non-stick griddle very well.
- Place the swordfish steaks on the hot griddle and cook for about 2 minutes per side (or 3 minutes if the steaks are thicker than 1 cm). Gently turn the fish to avoid breaking it.
- Service :
- Transfer the swordfish steaks to a serving platter and drizzle with the remaining marinade.
- Serve the fish accompanied by fresh cherry tomatoes seasoned with oil and salt. If you like, you can add a spoonful of yogurt sauce or a side of fresh salad.
This dish is ideal for enjoying all the flavours of the sea in a light and healthy way.
