Donna's Grilled Swordfish with Caramelized Onion & Sherried Fruit Chutney, and Roasted Broccoli with Garlic

Hello Friends, we decided to spend Saturday night at home for a "Dinner & a Movie" night but wanted to make something easy yet delicious.  When checking out the fish counter at the local grocery store, there was a special sale on swordfish so we were hooked so to speak!  I came up with the chutney to complement the slight sweetness of the fish, and the roasted broccoli was crunchy and delicious.  I hope you enjoy these recipes.  Best, Donna:

Donna's Grilled Swordfish with Caramelized Onion & Sherried Fruit Chutney

Ingredients:

Two 6 ounce swordfish fillets

1/2 cup Italian dressing

Salt and pepper to taste

2 Tablespoons olive oil

One medium sweet onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup flaked coconut, unsweetened

2 Tablespoons crystallized candied ginger, chopped

3 tablespoons dried cranberries or cherries

Three small ripe pears, chopped

One stick cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon five spice powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup Madeira cream sherry

Method:

For swordfish, pour dressing over fish and allow to marinate in refrigerator about four hours before grilling.  Heat grill and cook about 3-5 minutes per side over medium heat until done.

For chutney, heat olive oil in large frying pan at medium high heat until pan is hot.  Add onion slices and stir until onions begin to turn golden brown, then add coconut.  Stir coconut until it starts to turn light brown, then add all remaining ingredients except Sherry.  Stir until mixed well, then add Sherry all at once and mix until almost evaporated.  Remove from heat and spoon on top of grilled swordfish.

Donna's Roasted Broccoli with Garlic
