Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) swordfish steaks
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces pineapple rings (fresh or canned)
- 2 stalks (thinly sliced) green onions
- 2 cups (for serving) cooked jasmine rice
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, red chili flakes, and 1 tablespoon of lime juice to create a marinade.
Place the swordfish steaks in the marinade and ensure they are completely coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Remove the swordfish steaks from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the swordfish is grilling, brush the pineapple rings with a small amount of vegetable oil and grill them for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized and lightly charred.
In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, remaining lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Heat over medium-low until warmed through, about 2-3 minutes.
To serve, place a portion of jasmine rice on each plate and top with a grilled swordfish steak. Add a grilled pineapple ring on top, drizzle with the coconut-lime sauce, and garnish with sliced green onions.
Enjoy the tropical flavors of your Hula Swordfish Express T J!
