Grilled Swordfish with a Basil Butter Sauce

We just got our new grill and for the past week we have been BBQ-ing every night. 

3 cheeseburgers, 4 hot dogs and 5 pounds later, I wanted to grill something a little more figure friendly. 

I decided on swordfish. It's meaty texture holds up perfectly on the grill.

Ingredients

Four 8-ounce swordfish steaks, cut about 1 inch thick

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened but not melted

2 teaspoons chopped basil

2 teaspoons capers, chopped finely

2 tablespoons lemon juice plus wedges for garnish

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

salt and pepper

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Mix the olive oil with 1tablespoon of lemon juice. Season fish with salt and pepper on both sides and marinate for 15 minutes.

In a bowl mix the butter with the basil and capers, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Grill the swordfish until nicely charred on the outside and cooked within.

This should take about 4-5 minutes per side.

Transfer to a plate and put a nice dollop of the basil butter on each fish immediately.

Garnish with lemon wedges and serve.

Enjoy!
