Tips for Making Sizzling Swordfish Fajitas

Choose the right swordfish. Look for a swordfish steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has a firm, slightly pink flesh. Avoid any steaks that are thin or have a lot of dark spots.
Marinate the swordfish. Marinating the swordfish will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, or you can get creative and try a more complex marinade.
Cook the swordfish over high heat. Swordfish is a relatively delicate fish, so it's important to cook it over high heat so that it doesn't overcook. If you're using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat before grilling the swordfish. If you're using a stovetop, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat before adding the swordfish.
Don't overcook the swordfish. Swordfish is a very thin fish, so it's important to cook it just until it is opaque in the center. Overcooked swordfish will be dry and tough.
Serve the swordfish fajitas with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for swordfish fajitas include grilled vegetables, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. You can also serve the fajitas with a side of rice or beans.
