PALEO MARINATED GRILLED SWORDFISH

Sworfish is one of my favorite fishes. It has a nice meaty texture that is similar to steak but without all the fat, and it has an incredible flavor when marinated in herbs and spices. Because of the natural oils in the fish, it does realy well on the grill.
I frequently stalk the fish counter at my local natural foods store to see if they have any fresh swordfish on sale. And since I am in there just about every other day they probably think I am the creepy fish lady. Just because I drool on the glass display doesn't make me creepy does it? Ok maybe just a little.
This fish tastes great with a squeeze of fresh lemon or when served with paleo tartar sauce. Serve with some vegetables or a salad and you have one lip-smacking good meal!

Ingredients:
- 4 swordfish steaks
- 1 lemon, sliced into wedges (optional)
- 1 Tbsp. fresh parsley (optional)
Marinade
- 1/3 cup chicken broth
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 3 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp. ground sage
- 1/2 tsp. rosemary
- 1/2 tsp. marjoram
Equipment:
- 1 large resealable plastic blag
- Garlic press
- Measuring spoons
- Measuring cups
- Citrus juicer
Directions:
1. Combine all marinade ingredients together in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and squish the marinade around the blend (squish is the technical term used by many well known chefs...ok not really I just couldn't think of a better word).
2. Add the swordfish steaks to the marinade and place the sealed bag in the fridge. Allow to marinate for 1-3 hours, turning the bag over a few times to ensure the steaks are well coated.
3. Take the steaks out of the bag and place on a plate. Discard the marinade bag.
4. Grill the swordfish steaks for about 5 minutes on each side.
5. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges (optional....but not really because who doesn't like a nice slice of lemon with their swordfish?!?)
