Boasting a mild, sometimes delicate flavor, boneless swordfish steaks<\/a> are ideal for a variety of unique recipes and an excellent choice for anyone looking for a nutrient-packed meal. Responsibly sourced from global waters and flash-frozen<\/a> the moment they leave the boat, you can count on these swordfish steaks to be as fresh as the day they were caught. Follow the guides below to learn how to cook swordfish on the grill, bake it in the oven, or sear it in a pan.<\/p>\n

What is Swordfish?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Swordfish is a delicate fish with a firm, flaky texture that packs a mildly sweet taste. Rich in protein and Omega-3s, along with loads of Vitamins B-12 and D, every 6 oz. steak brings an exceptional amount of health benefits to the table. Swordfish is a great option for those looking for a healthy and elegant dinner at home.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Prepping Swordfish<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Before cooking your swordfish, it needs to be properly thawed. Thaw in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours before cooking, or, for faster thawing, use the cold-water method. Remove swordfish steaks from packaging, place in a sealable plastic bag, remove as much air from the bag as possible, and then immerse in cold water for approximately 30 minutes, until completely thawed.<\/p>\n

Season Swordfish<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Brush your thawed swordfish with melted butter or oil. This will help prevent moisture loss and allow the seasoning to stay on better. Thanks to the incredible quality of Omaha Steaks Swordfish Steaks<\/a>, there is no need to heavily season. Your swordfish will be outstanding with simple salt and pepper or our Seafood Rub<\/a>. To jazz things up, use your favorite marinade or compound butter and bring out all the swordfish\u2019s wonderful flavors.<\/p>\n

How to Cook Swordfish<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A versatile fish, swordfish can be cooked several different ways. Depending on the time and effort you want to put into your dish, there is a cooking option for every chef! Check out our Omaha Steaks Seafood Cooking Chart<\/a> for information on how to cook all your favorite seafood.<\/p>\n

How to Bake Swordfish<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Baking swordfish is one of the easiest methods to achieve a luxurious, juicy result. After a short 10-12 minutes in the oven (and without any flipping or turning of the fish), your dinner is complete! Easy enough for any night of the week, yet impressive enough for a celebration meal.<\/p>\n

How to Pan-Sear Swordfish<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The pan-sear method lets you enjoy the thrill of the sizzle and is perfect for single-portion servings. Brush your swordfish steaks with melted butter or oil and add extra oil to the pan to make it easier to flip without harming the delicate meat.<\/p>\n

How to Grill Swordfish<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Anyone who has grilled fish before can agree that you\u2019re in for quite the satisfying treat. Swordfish meat is dense like a beef steak, so it makes for the perfect fish to fire up on the grill. Swordfish steaks are a fantastic option for jazzing up your next backyard BBQ with a fresh and tasty experience.<\/p>\n
