How should swordfish be prepared?
I just purchased one pound of swordfish filet and never cooked swordfish before and have minimal experience cooking fish. Any suggestions on preparation? Also what should I look for while cooking it?
Best Answer
I love swordfish grilled with a little olive oil and Montreal steak spice. All the firm fish are great on the grill.
Firm fish like ahi tuna and swordfish can pretty much be treated like really good steak, just cook them carefully because you want them left on the very-rare side of things.
If you do it in a pan make sure there's hot oil or butter (or both) before you add the fish and don't move it around too much. If you fuss too much with the fish it will fall apart.
As delicious as swordfish is a lot of the fish on the market isn't being sustainably caught. Make sure to ask where its coming from. Most of the US and Canada fisheries are pretty good.

How is swordfish meant to be cooked?
Grill swordfish until outside is browned but inside is still slightly pink, about 3 to 8 minutes per side. 3. Pan-Sear: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear swordfish steaks until browned on each side and just cooked through (flesh should feel firm when pressed), about 3 to 8 minutes per side.Is swordfish supposed to be well done?
Unlike, say, salmon, which doesn't dry out as much as it cooks, swordfish needs to be served medium well, to the point where it is just cooked through but still juicy.Is swordfish supposed to be raw in the middle?
When grilling (or broiling), cook swordfish like you would a rare steak: Use high heat to sear the outside, and let it stay a little rare in the middle, about 5 minutes on one side, then 2 to 3 minutes on the other for an inch-thick steak.More answers regarding how should swordfish be prepared?
Answer 2
Olive oil, salt and pepper and grilled (on a flame broiler or outside Bar-B-Que) to perfection. Then, when done, squeeze some lemon (or, in my case, lime) on top and enjoy... Most fishes, I think, taste best with the simple additions, but others will disagree because it's a matter of taste. One spice mix, therefore, I personally love on any fish, including sword fish is a nice mix I got on Orcas island: chipotle, ancho, cumin, some green herbs (dried) and salt and pepper...
