Instructions

Make the Marinade

Place the olive oil and sliced ginger in a small saucepan. Heat gently over low heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and remove the ginger with a slotted spoon. Allow the oil to cool for another 10 - 15 minutes.
Remove 1 teaspoon of olive oil from the pan and set it aside. In a small glass bowl or mason jar, combine the remaining ginger-flavored olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper and whisk or shake to mix.

Marinate the Fish

Place the swordfish in a shallow glass dish and pour the marinade over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes. (Do not marinate for longer than this, as the acid in the vinegar will start to "cook" the fish and you'll end up with a tough piece of fish.

Prep and Grill the Peaches

While the fish is marinating, preheat the grill to 450℉.
Cut the peaches into slices. Do not remove the skin. Brush them with the reserved olive oil.
Place the peaches on the grill rack carefully. Grill for 5 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside.

Grill the Fish

Remove the fish from the marinade and discard the marinade.
Place the fish on the preheated grill and grill for about 3 - 4 minutes on each side. The fish should feel firm to the touch. Check the temperature with an instant-read thermometer in the center of the steak. The fish is done when it reaches 145℉.
