Ingredients
- 4 pieces swordfish steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large ripe mango, diced
- 0.5 cup pineapple, diced
- 1 piece red chili, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup red onion, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice

Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Brush both sides of the swordfish steaks with olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper.
Grill the swordfish steaks for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are lightly charred and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Set aside to rest while preparing the sauce.
In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, pineapple, chopped red chili, minced red onion, and fresh cilantro.
In a small separate bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the tropical fruit mixture and toss gently to combine.
Plate the grilled swordfish steaks and spoon the spicy tropical sauce generously over the top.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as coconut rice or a fresh salad.
