Grilled Rosemary Swordfish
2013 – Gluten Free Living
Grilled Rosemary Swordfish is juicy, flaky, succulent, and tasty. It’s absolutely everything you want in your fish. This very simple recipe combines lemon juice, olive oil, rosemary, garlic, salt, pepper and parsley–that’s it! But it has great taste. I grilled the swordfish on an indoor grill rather than a gas grill and the swordfish steaks still came out tasting fabulously.

Grilled Rosemary Swordfish is a very quick and easy recipe for the grill. It’s especially helpful during summers when you want to cook outside instead of heating up your house. For those of you who want to change your diet to include more fish, this is a great way to do that. For the record, fish oil is excellent in reducing cholesterol and including a lot of essential fatty acids/oils in your diet will lower triglycerides.
A few weeks ago I had defrosted some swordfish from our freezer and was trying to find a recipe to prepare this. We don’t eat a ton of fish and usually my husband cooks it rather than me. I ended up using this one and added a few other ingredients as I desired. This recipe turned out even better than expected so I will definitely make it again. The combination of parsley, garlic, and rosemary really added a wonderful fragrance and taste to the swordfish.
This is a really sumptuous way to serve swordfish, tuna, salmon, or almost any kind of fish. Grilled Rosemary Swordfish is quick, easy, economical, and oh, so, flavorful. It’s also healthy, low calorie, and gluten free. Not only that, but you will probably have all the ingredients on hand so you don’t have to make a run to the store at the last minute. If you’re cooking fish on the grill for company, this is a can’t fail recipe!
Grilled Rosemary Swordfish is a tasty and excellent way to prepare swordfish steaks or any kind of fish.

Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients, plus swordfish steaks, olive oil, garlic and lemon juice.
Measure olive oil into a glass measuring cup. Add lemon juice, minced garlic, kosher salt or sea salt, black pepper, rosemary, and fresh torn parsley. Stir to combine.
Brush grill with oil or spray with olive oil cooking spray. Brush olive oil mixture on front and back of each swordfish steak.
Place swordfish steaks on grill. Add a little more of the olive oil mixture on top. Grill 5-10 minutes per side until fish flakes with a fork. Gas grills usually cook these in about 5 minutes. My indoor grill took about 10 minutes per side.
Turn swordfish steaks over and coat top with any remaining olive oil mixture. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork.
To serve: place swordfish steaks on plates and serve with the veggies or fruit of your choice! You can add another squirt of lemon on your swordfish steaks if you want more. Grilled Rosemary Swordfish is a delightful way to prepare fish.
Swordfish steaks are a healthy, low calorie option for your family.
Here’s a close up so you can see the texture of the seasonings on top of the swordfish steaks. Parsley, garlic and rosemary are such great spices on fish and the olive oil and lemon juice seals in the flavors.
Here’s the recipe.

I doubled up on the parsley for this meal because both the swordfish and the potatoes had lots of it!
This marinade was enough for 3 swordfish steaks but you can easily double the ingredients if you have a larger family.
Grilled Rosemary Swordfish is juicy and succulent and were very tender prepared this way. The flavors mingled together quite well.

The fish looks like salmon in all your pictures, doesn’t resemble swordfish at all.

Hi, Sarah, That’s what it said on the package when we bought it, and I assure you it was swordfish. Didn’t taste anything like salmon.
