Ingredients
- 4 swordfish steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Lemon slices, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the swordfish steaks dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the swordfish steaks in a baking dish and brush the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the fish.
- Top the fish with lemon slices and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
- Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the steaks.
- The swordfish is done when it becomes opaque and flakes easily with a fork or reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Avoid overcooking, as swordfish can dry out quickly.
- Fresh lemon juice gives the best flavor, but bottled juice may also be used.
- A glass or ceramic baking dish works well for even roasting.
- For extra richness, drizzle with garlic butter before serving.
- Pair with roasted vegetables, rice, couscous, or salad for a complete meal.
