(modification of recipe originally from NoMoreToGo)

Serves 4

  • 1 pound swordfish steaks, cut into 4 (4 ounce) pieces
  • 1 cup crushed or pineapple pieces in 100% juice

Marinade:

  • ½ teaspoon orange zest
  • 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
  • ½ teaspoon lime zest
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon grape seed oil
  • 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

Combine marinade ingredients in a medium bowl with a whisk. Set aside ¼ cup marinade for basting. Place swordfish in shallow dish and pour all but 1 tablespoon of the remaining marinade over the fish. Add the pineapple to the marinade bowl with the 1 tablespoon remaining marinade. Let sit for 20-30 minutes at room temperature.

Place pineapple mixture in a small saucepan and heat for 5 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.

Grill swordfish over medium-high heat for 3 – 4 minutes on each side (until it is firm to the touch), basting when turning.
