Make

  1. Heat grill to 400F / 204C degrees, keeping one part of the grill with direct heat and another part with indirect heat. Clean grates and brush with some oil.

  2. Place swordfish and corn over direct heat. Sear both for ~2 minutes per side, closing the lid after each turn. Move corn and swordfish to indirect heat and continue cooking until corn is tender and swordfish is flaky and opaque, 2 to 5 minutes more (depending on thickness).

  3. Toss cucumbers, edamame, and salad greens in sesame vinaigrette until dressed to your liking.

  4. Spoon miso butter over swordfish (and corn if you’d like) while still warm. Enjoy swordfish with corn and salad on the side.
