ہدایات

1

In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

Tip: Fresh lemon juice is essential for the best flavor.

2

Strip rosemary leaves from stems and chop finely. Add to the marinade.

Tip: Save the woody stems for grilling aromatics.

3

Add swordfish cubes to the marinade and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Tip: Do not marinate too long as acid can make fish mushy.

4

Thread marinated fish onto skewers, alternating with lemon slices.

Tip: If using wooden skewers, soak them first to prevent burning.

5

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill skewers for 3-4 minutes per side.

Tip: Do not overcook; swordfish should be slightly pink in center.

6

Serve immediately with fresh rosemary and lemon wedges.

Tip: A drizzle of good olive oil finishes the dish beautifully.
