Marinated Swordfish with Avocado Butter

Lemon-Soy Marinade:

⅔ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed and sliced
4 tablespoons lemon juice
1 lemon, grated and zested
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, tarragon, rosemary or thyme (optional)

Avocado Butter:

1(approximately ½ pound) avocado (ripe, but not over ripe)
½cupunsalted butter,softened to room temperature
1½teaspoonslemon juice
½teaspoon ground cumin
¼teaspoonsalt
freshly ground black pepper

Mix the avocado with the butter until it's super smooth. I use a hand/immersion blender to do this, though with a bit more work you can use a fork. Mix in the lemon juice, cumin and salt. Season to taste with the pepper.
You can use the butter at room temperature or you can solidify it in the refrigerator.
