Lemon-Marinated Swordfish with Greek Orzo Salad
Ingredients
  • 1
    15x7x1/2-inch cedar or maple grill plank
  • 4 - 6
    8 ounces fresh or frozen swordfish steaks, 1 inch thick
  • 2
    tablespoons olive oil
  • 1
    teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
  • 1
    tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1
    tablespoon snipped fresh oregano
  • 1
    clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2
    teaspoon salt
  • 1/4
    teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Greek Orzo Salad
  • Lemon wedges (optional)
Directions

1. At least 1 hour before grilling, soak plank in enough water to cover. Weight down plank to keep it submerged during soaking. Drain plank.

2. Thaw swordfish, if frozen. Rinse swordfish; pat dry with paper towels.

3. For marinade, in a small bowl, stir together olive oil, lemon peel, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Brush marinade over swordfish. Place swordfish on a plate. Cover and chill for 1 hour.

4. For a charcoal grill, place plank on the grill rack directly over medium coals; heat about 5 minutes or until plank begins to crackle and smoke. Place swordfish on plank. Cover; grill swordfish for 15 to 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Grill swordfish as above.)

5. Serve swordfish with Greek Orzo Salad and, if desired, lemon wedges. Makes 4 servings.
