    What’s the Best Way to Cook Swordfish?

    The best way to cook swordfish depends on how much time you have and what you are craving. You can pan-sear swordfish, which will take you about 10 minutes of your time, or grill on the BBQ for about 5-6 minutes on each side.

    The secret really is in the marinade, not overpowering the fish but putting in just enough to give the swordfish a flavorful taste.

    What Goes Well with Swordfish?

    Due to its heavy texture and taste, you will want to choose something light to pair with your swordfish.

    Some great options are salad (such as bean salad, Greek salad), couscous, green beans. If you really want to keep things light and fresh, try adding in a nice fruit salsa.

    Should Swordfish Be Cooked Rare?

    There are some meats and seafood that you can cook rare but swordfish is not one. You should cook this fish until it’s opaque and flakey or, in other words, cooked to medium or medium-well.

    Don’t be too disappointed. Follow any of the recipes below, and you’ll see just how good cooking swordfish can be!
