Grilled Swordfish

Grilled Swordfish with Lemon, Mint and Basil received dozens of 5-star reviews and I was eager to try it.
 
The lemon, mint, basil part, however, turned out to be nothing special.
 
But in the process of cooking the dish, I somehow wound up grilling the fish perfectly.  The recipe calls for 3 minutes per side.  The right firing schedule, it turns out, is 3 1/2 minutes on one side (with the grill lid up) and 5 1/2 minutes on the other (with the lid down).  And, of course, the burners should be wide open.
 
As I said, the herbs and juice were just so-so.  But the fish, cooked this way, was fabulous.
