Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds swordfish steaks
- ½ cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon pineapple juice concentrate, thawed
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- SALSA:
- 1 medium orange, peeled, sectioned, and cut into bite-size
- ½ cup canned pineapple chunks, undrained
- ¼ cup diced fresh mango
- 2 medium jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
- 3 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon diced red bell pepper
- 2 teaspoons white sugar
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
- Make the salsa: Mix orange, pineapple, mango, jalapeños, orange juice, bell pepper, sugar, and cilantro together in a medium bowl until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
- Marinate the swordfish: Whisk orange juice, oil, pineapple juice concentrate, and cayenne together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add swordfish and turn to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove swordfish from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
- Grill on the preheated grill until opaque in the center, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Serve with the salsa.
