Mediterranean Stuffed Swordfish
This Mediterranean swordfish steak stuffed with spinach and feta cheese can be grilled or broiled.
Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) swordfish steak (about 2 inches thick)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 cups fresh spinach - rinsed, dried and torn into bite size pieces
- ¼ cup crumbled feta
Directions
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
- Cut a slit in steak to create a pocket that is open on one side only. Mix together 1 tablespoon olive oil and lemon juice in a small bowl until well combined; brush over both sides of fish. Set aside.
- Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil and garlic in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook spinach in hot oil and garlic until wilted. Remove from heat and stuff into pocket. Place feta in pocket over spinach.
- Cook fish on the preheated grill for 8 minutes. Turn over and continue cooking until cooked through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into fish should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
