how long to bake swordfish at 350
The length of time to bake swordfish at 350°F (175°C) depends on the thickness of the swordfish steaks and whether they are baked with or without foil. Here are some general guidelines:
-
With Foil: Wrap swordfish steaks in foil and bake for 10–12 minutes per inch of thickness. For example, a 1-inch thick steak would take about 10–12 minutes. This method helps retain moisture and flavor.
-
Without Foil: If baking without foil, bake for 8–10 minutes per inch of thickness. For a 1-inch thick steak, this would be about 8–10 minutes. You can brush the swordfish with olive oil or a marinade to prevent drying.
- Internal Temperature: Regardless of the method, use a food thermometer to ensure the swordfish reaches a safe internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Overcooking can make it tough.
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) before baking.
- Let the swordfish rest for a few minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
Adjust the seasoning or marinade according to your recipe, and enjoy!
