• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Lemon wedges, for serving
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Swordfish

1. Pat dry the swordfish steaks with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 2: Marinate the Swordfish

Step 3: Grill the Swordfish

1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
2. Remove swordfish steaks from marinade and discard the marinade.
3. Grill swordfish for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the steaks.

2. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Tips:

• Ensure the grill grates are well-oiled before grilling to prevent sticking.
• Swordfish pairs well with a variety of sides such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
