Grilled Swordfish With Lemon Basil Butter

Directions

Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to high heat.

Cut each swordfish steak in half, drizzle with lemon juice and let stand for 1 minute.

Rub both sides of each steak with olive oil, salt and pepper and set aside.

Place the butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt and basil in a small bowl and combine well. Set aside until ready to serve.

Oil the grill grates and add the fish.

Grill the swordfish steaks until opaque throughout, 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 minutes per side. To avoid drying out the fish, do not leave unattended.

Top each piece of fish with about 1 tablespoon of the lemon-basil butter just as it comes off the grill.

Allow to rest for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
