BBQ Grilled Swordfish
Grilled swordfish is a popular seafood dish enjoyed worldwide. The fish's meaty, firm texture is ideal for grilling, as it retains moisture and provides an intense flavor. The slightly sweet and smoky aroma of BBQ sauce perfectly complements the natural taste of swordfish. This dish is an ideal choice for barbecues, family dinners, or a light summer lunch. The correct cooking technique ensures that the fish is slightly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Preparation Steps
1
Thoroughly rinse the swordfish steaks under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, BBQ sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
3
Generously brush the swordfish steaks with the BBQ marinade, then let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, then place the fish directly on the grill grates.
5
Grill the fish for 4-5 minutes on one side, then carefully flip and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
6
During the last minute of grilling, lightly brush with extra BBQ sauce, then grill for another 30 seconds to allow the glaze to caramelize slightly.

Remove the grilled swordfish from the grill and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
8
Serve warm with lemon wedges, a fresh salad, or grilled vegetables. It is also an excellent choice with toasted bread or steamed rice.
