Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. Swordfish steaks, cut 1” thick
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¾ cup Kikkoman® Teriyaki Takumi, Original, divided
  • 1 large sweet yellow onion, cut into petals
  • 1 Pineapple, cut into ¾” rings, then cored
  • ½ of a lemon
  • Cilantro, for garnish
  • Chives, for garnish
  • Extra Kikkoman® Teriyaki Takumi Sauce, Original for adding at the table

Instructions
 

  • Pat the swordfish steaks dry and place them on a wire rack over a sheet tray in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Remove the swordfish and baste with ¼ cup of Kikkoman® Teriyaki Takumi, Original and set aside. Skewer your onion petals (they should be roughly 1” by 1”) and put on a platter or sheet tray. Baste the onions with ¼ cup of the teriyaki sauce. The swordfish and onions should marinate at room temperature for another 30 minutes while you prep the pineapple and grill.
  • Prepare a very hot grill. Once hot, place the swordfish, onions, and pineapple on the grill and cook. The swordfish should be flipped only once, at the 4 to 5-minute mark* (see note). Using the final ¼ cup of teriyaki sauce, baste the fish on top just before turning and again on the other side after the flip. Turn the onions as needed to get a char on the edges. The pineapple rounds should cook for 4 minutes per side as well.
  • Just before removing the swordfish from the grill, squeeze just a little lemon juice over the top. Serve with the pineapple cut into smaller pieces, onions, and anything else you desire. Garnish the fish with cilantro and chives, if desired.

Notes

As a rule, swordfish should cook for 10 minutes per inch of thickness. This is very dependent on the heat of your grill. Ours was extremely hot and took 8 minutes for perfect fish.
