Ingredients

• 1 lbs. fresh swordfish steak(s)
• pinch of salt
• pinch of pepper
• 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves

Cooking Directions

1. To marinade swordfish steak, clean swordfish thoroughly and then chop 2 garlic cloves finely, and add to a zip-lock bag the swordfish, chopped garlic, 2 teaspoons of olive oil, 1 whole lemon squeezed, pinch of salt and pinch of pepper then store in refrigerator for at least 1 to 3 hours
2. Start chimney starter full of hardwood lump charcoal and hickory wood chunks and oak wood chips, using a match to paper towel dressed with olive oil under starter. Once the wood charcoal is grey, dump into grill pit.
3. Add swordfish over medium-to-high heat, grilling 6-7 minutes per side and giving a quarter-inch turn after 1 minute. Be sure to move quickly as not to burn the swordfish and once fish begins to flake, remove from grill.
