- Serve the grilled swordfish with a side of lemon wedges for an extra burst of citrusy freshness.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of red chili powder in the marinade.
- Make sure to oil the grill grates before placing the swordfish to prevent sticking.
- Rest the grilled swordfish for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
