- 1 TB lemon zest (zest of 1 lemon)
- 1 TB minced parsley
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 1-lb swordfish steak

- Early in the day, mix 1 TB kosher salt into a cup of warm water. Stir well to dissolve. Refrigerate till cold.
- Mix minced garlic, lemon zest, parsley, red pepper flakes and Worcestershire sauce into softened butter-mix well. Put into ramekin and refrigerate.
- About 1/2 hour before cooking, put the swordfish into the brine for 10 minutes, turning once after 5 minutes. Rinse fish well and dry. Let fish come to room temperature and start grill. Take compound butter out of refrigerator and let it come to room temperature as well.
- Rub swordfish steak with olive oil and sprinkle generously with fresh ground black pepper. Grill fish over direct heat until just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side (depending on thickness). rnLet fish rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Serve with compound butter layered on top and a sprinkling of flaky sea salt.
