Place the swordfish steaks in a shallow dish large enough to hold them in a single layer.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the swordfish steaks, making sure they are well coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to 1 hour.
While the swordfish is marinating, prepare the avocado butter. In a medium bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork until smooth.
Combine the mashed avocado with softened unsalted butter, lime juice, and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended. Scoop the mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap, form it into a log, and refrigerate until firm.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the swordfish steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steaks, or until the fish is firm and opaque in the center.
Transfer the grilled swordfish steaks to a serving platter. Slice the chilled avocado butter into rounds and place a piece on top of each steak while they are still hot.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as a crisp salad or grilled vegetables, and enjoy!
