Grilled Blackened Swordfish with Pineapple Salsa 🍍🐟

-

This Grilled Blackened Swordfish is packed with bold, smoky flavor and topped with a fresh pineapple salsa that perfectly balances the heat of the blackened seasoning. Served over Cilantro Lime Rice, this easy seafood dinner tastes like a tropical vacation on a plate.

Ingredients (Serves 2)

For the Swordfish

  • 2 swordfish fillets, thawed
  • 2 tbsp Blackening seasoning(Traeger Blackened Saskatchewan Rub is my favorite. I use it on burgers, steak, seafood and chicken because it has incredible flavor)
  • Olive oil spray
  • 1 lime

For the Pineapple Salsa

  • 1 cup pineapple, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice

(Optional)Cilantro Lime Rice 

Equipment

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the pineapple, red onion, red pepper, cilantro, garlic, and 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Mix well and refrigerate while you prepare the rest of the meal.

  2. Lightly spray the swordfish fillets with olive oil and season generously on all sides with Traeger Blackened Saskatchewan Rub. Place in the refrigerator while the grill preheats.

  3. Preheat your charcoal grill to 400°F.

  4. Place the swordfish on the grill and cook for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and reaches an internal temperature of 135°F.

  5. Remove the swordfish from the grill and squeeze the remaining 1 tablespoon of lime juice over the fillets.

  6. Spoon the chilled pineapple salsa over each Swordfish fillet. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips & Info

  • Don't overcook the swordfish. Swordfish is best when it's still moist and tender. Pull it from the grill at about 140–145°F.
  • Make the salsa first. Giving it time to chill allows the flavors to blend together.
  • Use fresh pineapple for the sweetest flavor and best texture.
  • This dish pairs perfectly with a cold IPA, a crisp lager, or a tropical cocktail like a Jungle Bird or Frozen Strawberry Margarita.

The smoky blackened seasoning and sweet pineapple salsa make this one of our favorite summer seafood dinners. It's easy enough for a weeknight meal but impressive enough for guests. 🌴🍍🐟🥥

Tramontina Signature Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware Review: My Honest Thoughts After Months of Cooking

Blackened Shrimp Gochujang Noodles 🛒Check for Today's Price on Amazon Why I Bought It One of the biggest reasons I chose the Tramontina Signature Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware Set is that it doesn't use a traditional nonstick coating. The cooking surface is simply stainless steel, so there's no coating to scratch, chip, or wear away over time. I wanted a quality stainless steel cookware set without paying All-Clad prices. Since I was starting a food blog and spending much more time in the kitchen, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to upgrade our cookware. Our previous "nonstick" cookware had reached the point where it wasn't nonstick at all. Scrambled eggs were especially frustrating, often sticking to the pan and making cleanup a chore.

Prep time: 3 minutes Servings: 1 (easily multiplied) Ingredients 1.5 oz vodka 0.5 oz fresh lime juice 3 oz fever tree ginger beer Fresh mint sprig (optional garnish) Equipment Copper mugs  Instructions Fill your copper mug or glass with crushed ice. Add the vodka, then the lime juice, and top with ginger beer. Stir gently to combine. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig. Enjoy! Pro Tips for the Best Moscow Mule Use fresh lime juice for the brightest flavor — bottled works in a pinch but isn’t as good. Crushed ice is key for that signature chill and dilution.
