  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 swordfish steak (about 1/2 pound)
  • 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder, divided
  • 2 large lemons, divided
  • Sea salt to taste
  • 2 to 4 green onions (scallions), chopped
  • 2 to 4 Tbsp. white wine
  • Extra lemon slices, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190.6 degrees C) to prepare for baking the swordfish.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Use a deep baking dish just large enough to hold the swordfish steak. A 2.5 quart (2.3 L) dish works well for this recipe.
  3. Create Marinade Base: Drizzle 1 1/2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil on the bottom of the baking dish. Squeeze the juice of one whole lemon over the oil, then sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder evenly on top.
  4. Place Swordfish: Lay the swordfish steak on top of the olive oil and lemon mixture in the baking dish.
  5. Add Toppings: Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over the swordfish steak. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder evenly on top, then squeeze the juice of the second lemon over the fish.
  6. Season and Scatter: Sprinkle sea salt on the swordfish to taste. Scatter the chopped green onions on and around the fish, then drizzle the white wine evenly over everything.
  7. Marinate: Let the swordfish marinate in the dish for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  8. Bake: Bake the swordfish uncovered in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the fish turns white, is fully cooked, and flakes tenderly with a fork.
  9. Serve: Transfer the swordfish to a serving plate and pour the remaining lemon sauce from the baking dish over the top. Garnish with lemon slices if desired and serve immediately.
  10. Enjoy: This recipe serves 1 and makes a healthy, delicious seafood entrée perfect for a quick meal.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the swordfish to avoid dryness; check for flaking tenderness with a fork.
  • Use fresh lemons for the best bright citrus flavor in the marinade and sauce.
  • Adjust the amount of white wine according to preference or substitute with a light broth if desired.
  • Chopped green onions add freshness; you can substitute with chives or parsley if needed.
  • Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the swordfish steak.
