TIPS
- Butter mixture may be prepared several days ahead and stored tightly covered in the refrigerator.
- You do not want swordfish that is gray in color with brown bloodlines. Swordfish is at its peak August through October but frozen swordfish can be found year-round.
- This recipe calls for vegetable oil, but any neutral oil will do. Avoid olive oil or any strong-flavored oil as it will change or overwhelm the marinade.
