Although I marinated it for the full hour, the swordfish did not seem to retain the flavors of the marinade. I served the fish with turmeric rice and asparagus spears. The white sauce I had thrown together to dress up the asparagus ended up helping the fish tremendously. I recommend making some sort of creamy sauce to serve over the top of this swordfish, to give it a more complex flavor and an added dimension.

This was our first time grilling swordfish, but it certainly won't be the last! We couldn't believe how juicy and flavorful it was. The texture is almost like salmon. We did have to cook it a little longer than the recipe stated, but other than that it was perfect!

I paired this with Recipe #430990 Curry Peach Tomato Salad with a side of steamed white rice and it was fantastic. The fixh was extra moist and tasty. Go easy on the swordfish - this fish has one of the highest mercury levels.
