- Step 1: Make the brine by mixing the water, salt, and sugar in a large pot and stir. Add swordfish fillets to the bowl and refrigerate overnight in the mixture.
- Step 2: Preheat your pellet smoker to 225 °F.
- Step 3: Remove the fillets from the brine, rinse, and blot dry.

- Step 5: Put the fillets skin-side down on the smoker and cook for about 1 hour or until the internal temperature in the thickest part of the fillets reaches 145°F.
- Step 6: Enjoy.
