Swordfish Skewers

(Whole 30 Compliant)

IMG_1934

This recipe is similar to a chicken souvlaki.  It’s a very simple marinade and could probably be used on chicken or other types of fish as well.  I made a small portion, but the same amount of marinade would definitely work for more fish if you need to make more.

Ingredients:

4-5 wooden skewers (soaked in water)

1/2 lb. swordfish steak, cut into cubes.

Marinade:

3 Tablespoons olive oil

Juice from 2 lemons

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions:

Place all the marinade ingredients in a ziploc bag with the swordfish.

Place the ziploc in the fridge and let chill for about 3 hours. (While it chilled, I also soaked the kebab skewers in water)

After 3 hours, heat a grill pan on medium high heat.  Once it’s warm, place the skewers on the pan (no additional oil).  *Be sure the grill pan is hot before you place the skewers on it to ensure nice grill marks

Grill the skewers for about 4 minutes.  Flip and cook another 4 minutes.

Done!

I placed mine atop an arugula, kale, and beet salad dressed with lemon.  Feel free to eat as you like!
