Unexpectedly got some swordfish filets. How would you cook it?

Lemon, butter, capers

Cook it in butter and lemon, then cut it into small pieces and give it to the cat.

Garbage table fare.

If your grill doesnt work, fix it. If thats not possible, pan sear. Esesntially treat it like a steak.

Light season with salt, coarse pepper, and a little cavenders. Sear in small amount of oil, finish in butter if desired. Instead of butter, I like to make a little tomato reduction by rendering down some sweet cherry tomatoes with a dollop of concentrated tomato paste, some good EVOO, and some minced garlic, then top the fish with that.

FRESH sword is hard to beat imo, extra emphasis on the fresh. Grocery store "fresh" sword and frozen sword are cat food after you've had the real deal. Its kind of like salmon in the sense that the grocery store stuff is completely different than the real deal fresh stuff from Alaska.

I would sous video and then pan sear

Swordfish is damn good eating. Treat the cook like a steak. hard sear and dont over cook. simple lemon and butter for finish.

I'm a pretty big fan of letting meat's flavor speak for itself with just salt and pepper for seasoning

if its that fresh than i agree. a good medium rare with S&P and squeeze lemon. keep it simple.
