Instructions

Make the salsa verde: finely chop the parsley leaves until they are almost paste-like, then transfer to a small bowl. Add the capers, shallot, garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir in the extra-virgin olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt until combined. Add the red pepper flakes and mint, if using. Taste and adjust salt or lemon juice as needed. Set aside at room temperature.

Heat an outdoor grill or grill pan over high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes. Pat the swordfish steaks dry with paper towels, brush both sides with the 2 tbsp olive oil, and season evenly with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
