Instructions
-
Prepare the Marinade: In a medium saucepan, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic cloves and fresh ginger, and sauté for about 3 minutes until fragrant.
-
Make the Sauce: Add the teriyaki sauce and honey to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly to combine the ingredients. Once it boils, reduce the heat and simmer for about 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Cool the Marinade: Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
-
Set Aside Sauce for Basting: In a small dish, reserve 1/4 cup of the prepared sauce for later use in basting the swordfish steaks. Cover the dish and place it in the refrigerator to keep it chilled.
-
Marinate the Swordfish Steaks: Place the swordfish steaks into a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the remaining teriyaki honey sauce over the fish. Seal the bag and refrigerate the steaks to marinate for 2 to 3 hours, allowing the fish to absorb the rich flavors of the marinade.
-
Preheat the Grill: About 5 minutes before cooking, preheat your George Foreman grill. Spray both sides of the grill with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the fish from sticking.
-
Grill the Swordfish: Place the marinated swordfish steaks onto the grill. Grill them for 4 minutes or until the fish is almost halfway cooked. The swordfish should begin to firm up and develop a light golden-brown color.
-
Baste the Fish: Open the grill and carefully remove the swordfish steaks. Wipe the grill clean and spray both sides again with non-stick cooking spray. Return the fish to the grill, then baste them with the reserved 1/4 cup of teriyaki honey sauce.
-
Finish Grilling: Close the grill and cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until the swordfish steaks are fully cooked through and have reached a desirable level of doneness. The fish should be flaky and tender.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the swordfish steaks from the grill, garnish as desired, and serve hot. These flavorful steaks pair wonderfully with steamed rice, sautéed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
Serving Suggestions
For a complete meal, serve these Honey Teriyaki Swordfish Steaks with steamed jasmine rice or a light vegetable stir-fry. A side of grilled asparagus or a crisp cucumber salad would also complement the flavors beautifully.
This recipe serves 4 people and takes only 15 minutes of active prep time, with the rest of the time dedicated to marinating and grilling. The simplicity of this dish makes it ideal for a weeknight dinner, but it’s also elegant enough for a special occasion.
