Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) swordfish steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup, diced pineapple
- 1 medium, peeled and diced ripe plantain
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup, finely chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons, chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 small, seeded and minced jalapeño
- 1 tablespoon (for the chutney) canola oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Brush the marinade evenly over both sides of the swordfish steaks. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
While the swordfish is marinating, prepare the chutney. Heat the canola oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced plantain to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown and soften.
Add the diced pineapple, red bell pepper, and red onion to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture is fragrant and the pineapple caramelizes lightly.
Stir in the chopped cilantro, lime juice, honey, and minced jalapeño. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated swordfish steaks on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and has grill marks.
Transfer the grilled swordfish to a serving plate and spoon the warm pineapple plantain chutney over the top of each steak.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dish, such as rice or a simple green salad, and enjoy!
