GRILLED SWORDFISH RECIPE WITH A MEDITERRANEAN TWIST

Steps:

• Preheat a gas grill on high (be sure to oil the grates before using). When ready, grill the fish steaks on high heat for 5 to 6 minutes on one side, turn over once and grill on the other side for 3 minutes or so (the fish should flake easily, while maintain firmness.
