- 4 fresh swordfish steaks (about 6 oz each, 1-inch thick)

- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- Brush the swordfish steaks with olive oil on both sides and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Place the swordfish on the hot grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until the fish is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the swordfish from the grill and immediately top each steak with a dollop of the garlic herb butter so it melts over the fish.
