Instructions

  • Place the swordfish, pineapple chunks, red onion, and red bell pepper in a large glass bowl.
  • Add the olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, fresh chopped cilantro, garlic powder, salt & pepper, and soy sauce. Gently toss to combine. Set aside to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring a few times.
  • Set your oven on broil. Line a grill pan or cookie sheet with foil. Set a rack inside the cookie sheet. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Spray a grill pan or cookie sheet with non-stick spray. Place on a baking sheet that is foil lined.
  • Alternate the fish, pineapple, and vegetables as you thread them on the skewers you previously soaked in water. (This prevents the skewers from burning).
  • Broil for approximately 10 minutes. Remove from oven and turn the kabobs over. Repeat broiling for approximtley 8 to 10 minutes on the other side. Serve with lime wedges and rice.

Notes

  • You can purchase fresh pineapple already chunked up in the produce department.
  • Be sure to soak the wooden skewers about an hour before threading the kabobs and broiling. This will help prevent the skewers from smoking or charring.
  • You can grill these on an outdoor grill also!
  • Green and orange bell peppers look impressive also.
  • Start your rice at the same time you start prepping the kabobs, and both will be ready to serve at the same time.
