GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH GOCHUJANG MAPLE GLAZE

DINNER AT HOME

One of my favorite fish dishes in Hawaii is served at the Honolulu airport.  It is a Mahi Mahi Bowl with Rice and Vegetables.  My Wife loves the dish too, and she made her first attempt to make it at home using Swordfish in place of the Mahi Mahi.  She prepared a Glaze with Korean Gochujang Paste, Maple Syrup, Rice Wine Vinegar and Sesame Oil.  This added a sweet and spicy taste that really put this dinner over the top.  Perfectly cooked sautéed vegetables topped the fish.  This was absolutely FANTASTIC and will now be in our regular dinner rotation for sure.

SWORDFISH WITH PAPAYA SALSA

DINNER AT HOME

This fresh local Swordfish was so fresh that it cut like butter and melted in your mouth.  One of the best pieces of fish in my life.  Served with Papaya Salsa, Garlic Chips and a vegetable medley that included Edamame, Carrots and Onion.  This dinner was fantastic!

Always nice to return from a trip to the Mainland and enjoy some super fresh Hawaii fish.  This Swordfish was delicious with a nice Mango Salsa.

GRILLED SHUTOME WITH MUSHROOM CREAM SAUCE

DINNER AT HOME

Local fish is scarce in the markets right now in Hawaii.  While we normally have many choices, today there were only two.  One was fresh Shutome (Swordfish) which is a very meaty steak like fish that is mild in flavor.  You really need a good sauce for this fish so I made a Mushroom Cream Sauce with Mushrooms, Shallots, Garlic, Butter, White Wine and 

Cream.  I reduced the sauce down and it came out perfect.  What a perfect match with the Shutome.  This was delicious!

DINNER AT HOME

Fresh fish is always on our dinner menu on Good Friday.  Not much of a fish selection at the market on this day but they did have some fresh Shutome (Swordfish) which looked good.

Simply grilled the fish with a little Hawaiian Salt, Pepper and Lemon/Garlic Flavor God Seasoning.  Made a White Wine, Butter, Shallot, Garlic and Capers Sauce that elevated this dish to restaurant quality.  Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Carrots with a little Olive Oil, Garlic, Salt and Pepper.  Actually added Bacon but my Wife removed it all because it was Good Friday and no meat products can be eaten.  Delicious dinner on the lanai.

Looking into the fresh fish department at our local supermarket I saw some super fresh Shutome which is Swordfish at a pretty good price.  Grilled it with a little salt, pepper and lemon/garlic seasoning.  Made a White Wine and Butter Sauce with Shallots and Garlic.  The fish was moist, meaty and so delicious.  Light flavor with no fish taste.  This was good.  Really good!

Shutome as it is called in Hawaii is actually Broadbill Swordfish.  The fish is very firm and has a mild flavor.  When I saw Shutome at the market for $3.49 per pound I had to buy some.  Sitting right next to the Shutome was Mahi Mahi but it was $14.99 per pound.  Fresh grilled Shutome with butter, salt and pepper is good but on this occasion I kicked up the flavor with a quick Mushroom Cream Sauce.  I am not a cook but just like to experiment with different flavors.  Normally don't measure anything and just pour and taste as I go.  I picked up some nice mushrooms on the Island of Kauai for $5 so this meal for three was around $15 total.  Served the fish with some leftover Linguine topped with the Mushroom Cream Sauce.  Fish turned out perfect and was delicious.

FRESH SHUTOME FILLET (SWORDFISH)

DINNER AT HOME

Fresh Shutome (Swordfish) was a bargain at $6.99 per pound so I picked up a few pieces for dinner.  I had planned to cook the Shutome on the outside BBQ but a sudden thunderstorm caused me to take my cooking indoors to a grill pan.  Found some canned pineapple and teriyaki sauce in the pantry so I tried making a Hawaiian Style Pineapple Teriyaki fish dinner.  Results were not bad.  The Shutome really worked well on the grill pan.  Stayed very moist.  Served with some fresh vegetables that I sauted up with some garlic and jalapeno in a little butter and vegetable oil.  Added a few tablespoons of chicken stock to steam the vegetables and add flavor.
