Ingredients

• 2 swordfish steaks (about 6 ounces each)
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
• 1 cup asparagus, trimmed
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

How to Make Grilled Swordfish with Roasted Vegetables

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and asparagus. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss until the vegetables are well coated.
3. Spread the vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly charred.
4. While the vegetables are roasting, preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the swordfish steaks with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
5. Grill the swordfish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
6. Once the swordfish and vegetables are cooked, plate them together, and drizzle with additional lemon juice if desired. Serve warm.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your grill is hot before adding the swordfish to achieve nice grill marks.
• If using wooden skewers for the vegetables, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
• For added flavor, marinate the swordfish in olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs for 30 minutes before grilling.

Easy Variations

• Substitute swordfish with salmon, tuna, or another firm fish.
• Use seasonal vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, eggplant, or broccoli for different flavors.
• Add fresh herbs like basil or parsley for a pop of freshness.

What to Serve With It

• A light green salad with a citrus vinaigrette
• Quinoa or couscous for a hearty side
• Garlic bread or crusty rolls to soak up the juices
• A chilled white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio
