How to Make Swordfish Bbq Grilled Swordfish

Thaw swordfish steaks completely if frozen. Rinse and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels.
Place swordfish steaks in a shallow glass dish.
**Prepare the Marinade:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 teaspoon ground ginger.
Add the swordfish steaks to the marinade. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours for a more intense flavor.
**Grill:** Preheat grill to medium heat. Grill swordfish for 7-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Turn steaks at least twice during cooking.
**Broil:** Preheat broiler. Broil swordfish for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Watch closely to prevent burning.
**Bake:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place swordfish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
**Discard marinade after use.**
**Prepare the Tropical Salsa:** In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup diced orange, 1/2 cup diced pineapple, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/2 cup diced sweet bell pepper, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1-2 finely minced jalapeño peppers (adjust to your spice preference).
Cover the salsa and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the grilled swordfish immediately, topped generously with the refreshing tropical salsa.
