Tips for Grilling Swordfish

• Choose fresh, thick-cut swordfish steaks: Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick, as thinner cuts may dry out quickly on the grill.
• Marinate or season the fish: Marinate the swordfish for 30 minutes to 2 hours in the refrigerator, or simply season it with olive oil, salt, pepper, and your preferred spices or herbs.
• Preheat the grill: Ensure your grill is preheated to medium-high heat (around 400°F) before placing the swordfish on it. This helps achieve nice grill marks and a flavorful crust.
• Clean and oil the grill grates: Clean the grill grates thoroughly and brush them with a light coating of oil to prevent the swordfish from sticking.
• Grill the swordfish: Place the swordfish steaks directly on the grill grates and cook for about 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. The fish should reach an internal temperature of 145°F and become opaque with a slightly firm texture.
• Avoid overcooking: Swordfish can become dry and tough if overcooked. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness and remove the fish from the grill once it reaches the desired temperature.
• Let it rest: Allow the grilled swordfish to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful bite.
• Add an extra flavor: For added flavor, you can baste the swordfish with a mixture of melted butter, garlic, and herbs during the last few minutes of grilling.
• Be gentle when flipping: Use a wide spatula to flip the swordfish steaks carefully, avoiding tearing or breaking.
• Experiment with different flavors: Try various marinades, rubs, or glazes to find the perfect flavor combination for your grilled swordfish.
