Here are some tips for making the best Turmeric Spiced Swordfish Steaks: * Choose fresh, high-quality swordfish steaks. Look for steaks that are bright pink or red in color, and that have a firm texture. * Don't overcook the fish. Swordfish is a relatively lean fish, so it is important to cook it carefully to avoid drying it out. Grill the fish for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through but still moist and flaky. * Serve the fish with your favorite sides. We recommend serving the fish with roasted vegetables, rice, or pasta.
