My favorite way to grill swordfish is simply to splash it with fresh lime juice and drizzle with good olive oil. A little coarse sea salt and freahly ground white pepper. No marinade. :)
There's a Caribbean marinade in the book Weber's Art of the Grill: 1/4 cup olive oil, juice of 4 limes, 2 T rum, 2 T soy sauce, 1/4 t ground cloves, 1/4 t freshly ground black pepper. Whisk together, and use to coat 4 swordfish steaks. Refrigerate 30 minutes to 4 hours, turning the steaks halfway through marinading them. They serve the grilled steaks with a simple mango salsa.
I would consider simply coating lightly with oil, s&p, and grill. Top with a nice knob of unsalted butter, serve, and let the flavor of the fish come out fully rather than being influenced by a marinade. Maybe a tangy fruity salsa on the side, if you wish.
