Ingredients

  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp honey
  • 1-2 Tbsp garlic-chili sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • ½ medium pineapple trimmed and cut into spears
  • ½ medium papaya trimmed, seeded, and cut into spears
  • 2 6-oz/170g swordfish fillets
  • 1 Tbsp fresh cilantro coriander leaves, chopped

Instructions

  • Prepare the sauce by whisking the orange juice, olive oil, honey, garlic-chili sauce, garlic powder, and lime juice together in a medium bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Divide the sauce into two small bowls and set aside.




    Mixing Garlic-Chili Marinade (Sauce)
  • Whisking the Garlic-Chili Marinade
  • Spray a large grill pan with non-stick cooking spray or lightly brush with olive oil. Set over medium-high heat and add the pineapple and papaya spears. Generously season the swordfish fillets with salt and black pepper and add to the hot grill pan.
  • Brush the garlic-chili sauce from one of the bowls over the fillets and fruit and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the fillets release easily from the bottom of the pan.


    Brushing Swordfish with Marinade
  • Turn the fish and fruit and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or just until the swordfish is cooked through. Do not overcook. Continue brushing the fillets and fruit with the marinade throughout the cook time.
  • Remove from heat and divide the swordfish and grilled fruit between individual serving plates. Garnish with the fresh cilantro right before serving and offer the remaining chili-garlic sauce on the side. Enjoy!
