Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together miso paste, mirin, sake, honey, and sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 30 seconds to allow the alcohol to cook off. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
Place the swordfish fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, turning to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 2–4 hours to let marinade.
For grilling: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates. Grill the swordfish for about 7 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook 3 minutes on the second side, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F. Remove from the grill and let rest briefly; the temperature will rise to about 135°F.
For broiling: Preheat the broiler to high and line a sheet pan with foil. Arrange the marinated fillets on the pan and broil 4–5 inches from the heat source for 4–5 minutes per side, until opaque and lightly caramelized.
Transfer the swordfish to a platter and serve warm.
