How to Make Grilled Swordfish With Caramelized Onions 5 Ww Pts

  1. In a large resealable bag, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  2. Add swordfish fillets to the bag, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor).
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  5. While the fish marinates, prepare the onions: Lightly coat one side of a 12-inch square of heavy-duty aluminum foil with cooking spray.
  6. Place 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced, onto one half of the prepared foil.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons maple syrup and 1 tablespoon butter, stirring until melted and combined.
  8. Drizzle the maple syrup-butter mixture evenly over the onions.
  9. Fold the foil over the onions, crimping the edges tightly to create a sealed packet.
  10. Place the foil packet on the preheated grill.
  11. Cover the grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the onions are tender and caramelized, turning the packet halfway through.
  12. Remove the foil packet from the grill and set aside to keep warm.
  13. Remove the swordfish fillets from the marinade, reserving the marinade.
  14. Pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  15. Place the swordfish fillets on the grill rack and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Baste frequently with the reduced marinade.
  16. Once cooked, place the swordfish on a platter and top evenly with the caramelized onions.
