"I like to swing by my fish guy and pick up the steaks, then zoom home, marinate and grill (or broil) for a nice, after work treat! YUM! We like these with rice and steamed broccoli. Prep time includes marinate time"

We loved the taste! Took the recommendation of other reviewers and squeezed extra lemon after the fish was grilled.

Very tasty if you like swordfish. Squeezing extra lemon on the fish makes it even better!

This wonderful marinade/baste gives an incredibly fresh vibrant flavor to the swordfish. I also zested my lemon and added the zest to the marinade, which added even more tang. I cooked the swordfish on our outdoor gas grill, set to High. It took about 6 minutes per side (don't forget to oil your grill right before adding the fish so it does not stick). Quite yummy!

I used this marinade for swordfish & shrimp kabobs. It tasted fantastic on everything - the peppers the onions and especially the shrimp.

Excellent! Just enough flavor to accent the fish without covering it up. Fresh swordfish is very expensive here so we don't have it very often and I wanted to enjoy it's special taste. I made the recipe as directed with stone ground brown mustard and let the fish marinate for 1 hour. Thanks for this very easy way to enjoy swordfish on the grill.
