This is one of the easiest recipes to make delicious and healthy fish. It is also the way I prefer eating swordfish as it reminds me of my childhood. My mom would always make it this way at home and when there was swordfish for lunch or dinner I would always be happy. This is a very good dish for children who do not enjoy eating fish too much, as swordfish does not have bones and it doesn’t even “look like fish”. You can serve it with a simple green or tomato salad. And if you haven’t done it yet, remember to participate in my international giveaway for a chance to win a digital scale!
Ingredients for 4 persons:
4 swordfish steaks
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
Parsley, chopped
Salt
Put the chopped garlic together with the extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of salt in an oven proof dish.
Put the swordfish steaks on top and rub them around the pan. Turn them over, so they are all coated in oil and garlic, and add a little extra salt on top of each steak.
Bake in a preheated fan forced oven at 180°C for about 15 minutes. Then add the lemon juice and chopped parsley and bake for another 5 minutes.
Serve warm with a simple green or tomato salad.
Great photos, Manu. I love swordfish but have never cooked it for myself! So simple and delicious, this is definitely going on the menu soon. Have a great weekend.
I love when a prep lets the true flavors of the key ingredient shine! This looks wonderful Manu! I hope you’re having a great weekend!
This looks gorgeous, manu! Absolutely brilliant. So simple, yet so flavorful. Perfect for summer. Love it.
I love swordfish and this sounds like a perfect flavor combination for it, great recipe!
This looks delicious. I love having swordfish during the summer… it’s one of our household favorites!
Manu I love this recipe because not only is it easy but it is healthy too! 😀
truly healthy.
i need to start eating healthy again!!!
It really sounds easy and especially when I dont know how to cook fish.. 🙂 Great recipe for lazy weekend dinner 🙂
Manu, your photos are as gorgeous as ever – even your photo of the olive oil in the pan with pretty patterns amongst the garlic is fantastic, for goodness sake. Have happy memories of swordfish – that was the dish that introduced me to food again after an illness, and it tasted SO good. Love how it’s so meaty and healthy, too. Great dish!
Ciao Manu! In città preparo sempre il nasello con aglio e prezzemolo per la mia bimba; ora voglio provare con il pescespada che qui al mare si trova freschissimo…dovrebbe piacerle! Grazie per l’idea 🙂
Simple, yet super tasty! What more would you want?
Beautiful fish, Manu…simple yet delicious! I’m going to have to branch out of my comfort zone, and try some seafood beyond salmon. You’ve inspired me 🙂
This looks like a super healthy and yummy dish…! Your family is lucky to have such a good cook like you in the family :D)!!
We get tons of fresh fish up here in Seattle and I am always looking for new recipes so this post is just perfect! I love how simple it is too- when the fish itself is good you don’t need much else.
I like it when you don’t overkill the natural fish taste with too much flavor. This seems like very easy for anyone to cook! Looks delicious!
Simple and effective: my kind of recipe! 🙂
So simple yet so yummy
Thank you for the recipe Manu and congrats on your top 9 🙂
Congrats on the top 9..yay!
Congrats on making Top 9! And the number 1 spot too! WOOOOOOOP WOOOP!
I have always been a lil intimidated by sword fish. I feel that the texture might be hard and chewy . Now looking at this dish I am re-thinking. You made it look delicious. 🙂
Swordfish can be chewy… but if you choose slices from the middle part of the fish (around the belly area) then it is so soft that melts in the mouth. These slices are easily recognisable as the look much longer than the others and are a bit paler in colour. Try these and you’ll love it! 🙂
Awesome pictures. They look absolutely delicious 😀
Okay, that is one healthy-delicious looking dish. The only problem I have with this is. . . there is only one in a plate. I want two on mine please. 🙂 Thanks for sharing Manu!
We just prepared swordfish for the first time the other night here with little to no knowledge. We grilled it and it was great but Im loving that you posted this so that I have something up my sleeve for next time!
The swordfish looks delicious and easy to make.. The ingredients really do accentuate the fish perfectly! great recipe .. cheers!
Made this tonight and it turned out tender and juicy with a delicate flavor. Just what I was looking for! Thanks!
