Mother’s Day Menu on the Grill: Swordfish with Orange Pineapple Salsa, Rosemary Potatoes and Amaretto Pears

We’ve been talking about moms a lot lately because Mother’s Day is right around the corner. Whether you’re going out to celebrate, making brunch or having a nice family dinner, it’s the thought that counts. (But gifts never hurt, right?) If you’re planning to make dinner, we suggest getting outside while the weather is mild and firing up the grill. To help, we’ve prepared a menu that is light and flavorful. Pour some white wine in mom’s glass, and gather everyone for a perfect spring feast.

  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  4. Grill swordfish covered 4 to 6 minutes, on each side. Serve with Orange Pineapple Salsa.

Light and citrusy, this marinade offers a little tang from the orange and a little sweetness from the pineapple. Swordfish is a sturdy fish, so it holds up well on the grill. It’s good with white wine, and perfect for the spring and summer grilling season.
