"Here's a version of Portuguese Swordfish that I make. During the winter months, the broiler is used and during the summer months, it's great grilled, especially over a charcoal grill for all that smokiness. Easy Peasy dish. NOTE: The marinating time is not included in the overall time."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Mix all the marinade ingredients in a small bowl, set aside.
Step 2
If broiling, remove the skin from the swordfish. If grilling, depending on your grill, it chars the skin, if that's what you like, so leave it on. You may want to leave the swordfish steaks whole or cut into 3-inchish square pieces (it's up to you). NOTE: Cutting them into pieces, stretches the budget and easily serves more people and works really well if you want to serve as appies (See NOTE, below).
Step 3
Place marinade and fish into the ziplock bag. Place bag in a bowl (this prevents any leakage, just in case). Let it sit in the fridge for 2-4 hours (I've even let it sit for 6 hours. Swordfish doesn't pickle as easily as some other types of fish will, so don't worry). Make sure to turn the bag here and there to distribute the marinade evenly overall.
Step 4
If broiling, place on a greased or buttered broiler rack. Broil for about 3-4 minutes. Turn the swordfish and broil for another 4ish minutes until done. The amount of time depends on the size and thickness of your swordfish, but make sure to keep a close eye on it so as not to overcook (when swordfish is overcooked, it tends to be dry). You may want to brush melted butter over each side when in the broiler, but not required.
Step 5
If grilling, grease grates. Grill for about 3-4 minutes and turn over and grill on the second side for 4ish minutes or until done. You may want to sprinkle melted butter over the swordfish when done, it's up to you. Enjoy!
NOTE: This makes great appies, if cutting into smaller pieces, just stick a decorative toothpick into each piece. If cutting into smaller sized pieces, don't cut them too small to prevent from drying out through the cooking process.
