SaveSummary
Grilling fish can be a bit tricky, but swordfish, with its firm, steak-like texture stands up well to this method of cooking. A little lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper is all that's needed to prepare the fish for the grill, and a simple compound butter flavored with lemon zest and basil makes the perfect complement. Serve with sautéed spinach and a salad for a light, warm-weather meal.
Ingredients
- 2 swordfish steaks, 1-inch thick (about 2 lbs)
- Juice of 1/2 lemon

- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
