Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Brush both sides of swordfish steaks with this marinade. Let sit for 10 minutes.
While fish marinates, prepare the avocado salsa: In a medium bowl, combine avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Gently toss and set aside.
Grill swordfish steaks 3-4 minutes per side, or until just cooked through and grill marks appear. Remove to a platter and let rest 2 minutes.
Spoon avocado salsa over the grilled swordfish. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
