  • 2 swordfish steaks, 6 oz each
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano

Instructions:

  1. Pat the swordfish steaks completely dry with paper towels to ensure a proper sear.
  2. Brush both sides of the steaks with olive oil.
  3. Rub the salt and black pepper evenly into the flesh.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, smoked paprika, and dried oregano.
  5. Spoon the marinade over the steaks, coating all sides and edges, and let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes.
  6. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  7. Place the steaks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between them for airflow.
  8. Air fry for 5 minutes per side.
  9. Check with a meat thermometer; remove when the internal temperature reaches 130°F-135°F (54°C-57°C) for a medium finish.
