Tips:

Choose the freshest swordfish possible. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong fishy odor.

Marinate the swordfish for at least 30 minutes. This will help to infuse the fish with flavor and prevent it from drying out.

Grill the swordfish over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist.

Cook the swordfish until it is cooked through. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.

Serve the swordfish immediately. Grilled swordfish is best enjoyed hot off the grill.

Conclusion:

Grilled swordfish is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. It is a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins. By following these tips, you can grill the perfect swordfish every time.
