Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 orange
1 small red onion
2 tablespoons chopped scallion tops
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, packed in juice
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 lbs swordfish

Steps:

  • Peel the orange, removing all the bitter white pith and coarsely chop. Coarsely chop the onion. Chop the scallion greens. Set aside.
  • In a sauce pan, toss the orange, onion, scallion greens and pineapple along with its juice, tomato paste, garlic, cornstarch, salt, hot pepper flakes and cayenne. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Keep stirring as to not burn. Cook uncovered, for about 10 minutes. Keep stirring.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered until it gets nice and thick, about 10 minutes.
  • Cut the swordfish into four steaks.
  • Top each steak with 1/4th of the sauce and grill, turning once, for about 12 minutes or until the steaks flake when tested with a fork.
  • Note: You can prepare the sauce in advance.
