FIRE ROASTED SWORDFISH STEAK WITH PINEAPPLE-MUSTARD GLAZE WITH CILANTRO CHIMICHURRI AND GRILLED PINEAPPLE SALSA AND PICKLED GREEN CHILES
Steps:
- Heat the grill to medium-high. Brush fish with olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill on one side until lightly golden brown, about 2 minutes, brush with some of the Pineapple Mustard Glaze. Flip over, brush with more of the Pineapple Mustard Glaze and continue grilling for 4 to 5 minutes, for medium doneness. Remove from the grill, brush with more of the Pineapple Mustard Glaze, place a tablespoon of the Cilantro Chimichurri on top of the fish, and serve Grilled Pineapple Salsa and Pickled Green Chiles alongside or on top.
- Combine the pineapple juice, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, and brown sugar in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the volume is reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Add the mustard and cook an additional 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the lime juice, and white pepper. Let cool.
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the pineapple on both sides until lightly golden brown. Remove from the grill and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Combine in a bowl with the remaining ingredients and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place vinegar, salt and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Continue boiling until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Place the chiles in a glass jar or nonreactive bowl and pour the hot vinegar mixture over.
GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH PINEAPPLE-PLANTAIN CHUTNEY
At The Great House at Villa Madeleine in St. Croix, they often use a native fish called wahoo for this interesting dish, but swordfish is another nice choice. They also make the chutney with the very hot Scotch bonnet pepper. A serrano chili produces a slightly milder version. Found at epicurious.com.

Tips:
- Choose Fresh Swordfish: Opt for swordfish steaks that are firm to the touch, have a mild odor, and are evenly colored.
- Prepare the Marinade: The marinade infuses flavor into the swordfish. Use a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices to create a flavorful marinade.
- Let the Swordfish Marinate: Allow the swordfish to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This allows the flavors to penetrate the fish.
- Grill the Swordfish: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the swordfish from sticking. Cook the swordfish for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Make the Pineapple-Plantain Chutney: Combine pineapple, plantains, onion, ginger, chili peppers, vinegar, and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chutney has thickened.
- Serve and Enjoy: Place the grilled swordfish on a platter and top with the pineapple-plantain chutney. Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately.
Conclusion:
Grilled Swordfish with Pineapple-Plantain Chutney is a delicious and flavorful dish that combines the delicate taste of swordfish with the sweet and tangy flavors of the chutney. The marinating process helps infuse the swordfish with flavor, while the grilling adds a smoky char. The pineapple-plantain chutney is a perfect complement to the fish, providing a balance of sweetness, acidity, and spice. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is a great choice for a summer cookout or a special occasion meal.
