Easy Swordfish Recipe
This swordfish recipe pairs the tender fish with garlic, lemon and capers for a flavor-packed and easy meal!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds swordfish (4 steaks)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon celery seed
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter (or dairy-free butter if desired)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon capers, drained
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
- (Allow the swordfish to stand at room temperature while preparing the recipe.) In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, celery seed, and kosher salt. Pat the swordfish dry and sprinkle all sides with the seasoning.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add the olive oil. Add the fillets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until browned and internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Remove the swordfish steaks to a plate and reduce temperature to very low. Add the butter, garlic and capers cook until garlic is lightly browned, scraping the bottom of the pan while it cooks.
- Stir in lemon juice and drizzle over the fish. Serve immediately. Store leftovers up to 2 days refrigerated.
