Ingredients

4 swordfish steaks (6-8 oz each, about 1 inch thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Brush swordfish steaks with olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Grill swordfish for 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through and grill marks appear. Remove to a platter.
While fish grills, make the sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add capers, lemon juice, parsley, and garlic; cook for 1 minute.
Spoon the lemon-caper sauce over the grilled swordfish steaks and serve immediately.

Tips

Swordfish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
Substitute halibut or tuna steaks if swordfish is unavailable.
Sauce can be made ahead and gently reheated.
