A delightful baked swordfish recipe with a flavorful herb crust, perfect for a healthy and delicious meal.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a consistent texture.
Season the swordfish steaks with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Seasoning both sides ensures the flavors penetrate the fish evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and thyme with olive oil to create a herb mixture.
Mixing the herbs with oil helps them adhere better to the fish.
Brush the herb mixture generously over the swordfish steaks, coating them evenly.
Using a brush ensures an even application of the herb mixture.
Place the seasoned fish in a baking dish and arrange lemon slices on top.
The lemon slices add a fresh citrus aroma during baking.
Bake the fish uncovered for 20 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.
Check the fish at 15 minutes to avoid overcooking.
Serve the baked swordfish hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Serving immediately ensures the fish retains its moisture and flavor.
