Marinated fish steaks

[beerman1981]

This comes from my "Better Homes" cookbook, but I am adding this into the forum, because it is incredible. I have cooked it on many occasions for my family, and it is always a crowd pleaser. I have incorporated a few modifications. Enjoy!

(INGREDIENTS)

1 pound fresh or frozen salmon, halibut, swordfish, tuna STEAKS. Must be steaks, not filets.

2 tablespoons lime or lemon juice

1 tablespoon snipped fresh oregano or thyme; or 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano or thyme (crushed)

2 teaspoons of olive oil

2 cloves minced garlic

1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning

4 lime wedges.

(DIRECTIONS)

1) Thaw fish (if frozen). Rince fish steaks and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into four serving size pieces (if necassary). For marinade, in a shallow dish combine lime juice, oregano, oil, garlic, and lemon pepper seasoning. Add fish; turn to coat with marinade. Cover and marinade in refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, turning steaks occasionally. [for maximum flavor, I always do 1.5 hours]

2) Drain fish, and save the marinade. Place fish on the greased unheated rack of the broiler pan. [For added moisture, I always fill the bottom of the broiler pan up about 1/4 to 1/2 way full of water]. Broil 4 inches from the heat for 8-12 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork, turning once and brushing with reserved marinade halfway through cooking. Discard left over marinade. Before serving, squeeze the juice from one lime wedge over each steak.
