This easy oven-baked swordfish with lemon and olive oil vinaigrette requires minimum preparation and is ready in less than 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 4 swordfish steaks 1-inch thick, (approximately 6 oz / 170 grams each)
  • Sea salt (or kosher salt to taste)
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, optional
  • A pinch of salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Salt and pepper both sides of the swordfish steaks 30 minutes before baking.

  2. 2

    Preheat your oven to 400 °F (205 °C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper (when using a porcelain casserole I find that the parchment paper is not necessary).

  3. 3

    Rub both sides of the steaks with the olive oil and the minced garlic and place them in the baking dish.Bake, uncovered, for 12-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork (a kitchen thermometer should register 145 °F / 63 °C).

  4. 4

    In the meantime, transfer the ingredients for the vinaigrette to jar, close it tightly with th elid and shake to combine.

  5. 5

    Remove the swordfish from the oven, plate and serve with the lemon vinaigrette on the side.
