Ingredients

1 1/4 lbs swordfish steaks, 1 inch thick cut into 4 equal pieces
2 lemons, thinly sliced
3/4 red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leave
1 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt

Method

Set your oven to 500 degrees or get your grill ready for cooking.
Lay each portion of swordfish in the middle of a double layer of foil.
Distribute the lemon slices, onion, rosemary, thyme, pepper and salt evenly over each piece of fish.
Create sealed packets by lifting the two long sides of the foil to meet above the fish and folding the edges down, then fold the short ends together.
Crimp all the edges securely, leaving some space inside for expansion.
If using the oven, arrange the packets on a baking tray.
Cook by baking or grilling until the fish turns opaque, which will take 10-12 minutes.
Be cautious when opening the packets to check if the fish is done, as hot steam will be released.
