Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pieces swordfish steaks (approximately 6 ounces each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup diced oranges
- 1 cup diced grapefruits
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional for heat)
- Juice of 2 limes

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the diced oranges, grapefruits, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and lime zest. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Season the Fish: Brush the swordfish steaks with olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper.
