Tips:
- Choose Fresh Swordfish: Opt for swordfish steaks that have a firm texture and a mild, fresh odor. Avoid any fish that appears slimy or has a strong fishy smell.
- Marinate the Swordfish: To enhance the flavor of the swordfish, marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
