Learn to prepare juicy grilled swordfish with a Mediterranean twist.

Pesce spada alla griglia

Grilled swordfish is a classic Mediterranean seafood dish, cherished for its simplicity and delicate flavor. However, the challenge lies in ensuring the fish remains juicy rather than dry and tough. The secret? A marinade of extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper that not only protects the fish’s fibers from the grill’s heat but also enhances its natural taste. Just 30 minutes of marinating in the fridge makes all the difference!

A final touch of fresh oregano and grated lemon zest provides an irresistible Mediterranean aroma. Pair this grilled swordfish with a fresh mixed salad or seasonal grilled vegetables for a perfect light and healthy meal, ideal for summer and beyond!
