In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Tip: Fresh lemon juice is essential for the best flavor.
Strip rosemary leaves from stems and chop finely. Add to the marinade.
Tip: Save the woody stems for grilling aromatics.
Add swordfish cubes to the marinade and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Tip: Do not marinate too long as acid can make fish mushy.
Thread marinated fish onto skewers, alternating with lemon slices.
Tip: If using wooden skewers, soak them first to prevent burning.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill skewers for 3-4 minutes per side.
