Grilled Swordfish

Nothing reminds me more of summer than the sizzle of the grill. For a lot of grill enthusiasts it’s all about thick cuts of meat but for me, I am a big seafood lover, so in the warmer months it is a must for my grill. When it comes to grilling fish, I prefer thicker cut steaks from larger fish, as they tend to stand up to the grill easier; swordfish, salmon, and halibut are a few of my favorites. This recipe is an awakening of your taste buds, the savoriness of the fish combined with flavors of charred pineapple, chili peppers, tomato and lime; this is a must-try for fish lovers and those with a curious palate. – Rob Thomas, www.chefrob.ca

GRILLED PINEAPPLE INGREDIENTS

• ½ pineapple, peeled and cut into slices
• 2-3 plum tomatoes
• 2 serrano peppers
• ½ cup red onion, diced or chopped
• ½ cilantro bunch, chopped (use as much or as little as you like)
• ½ lime, ready to squeeze
• salt to taste

GRILLED PINEAPPLE DIRECTIONS

Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Grill until charred on both sides. Set aside to cool, then chop or dice into small pieces.

Slice tomatoes in half and remove the seeds with a spoon, chop or dice small.

Cut the serrano peppers lengthwise, remove veins and seeds, chop or dice small.

Mix tomato, peppers, onion, cilantro, and pineapple in a bowl, add the lime juice, and season with salt. This can be made ahead of time.

GRILLED SWORDFISH INGREDIENTS

• 4 Swordfish steaks (4-6 ounces each, about 1” thick)

MARINADE INGREDIENTS

• 3 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1tsp minced garlic
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped
• salt and pepper

GRILLED SWORDFISH DIRECTIONS

Combine marinade ingredients, toss to coat fish, let sit for 20-30 minutes.

Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill until swordfish is lightly charred and just cooked through. Fish will feel firm, approximately 5 -6 minutes per side.

Transfer swordfish to a plate and top with grilled pineapple pico de gallo. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
