  • 1 tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp. olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

FOR THE SALSA:

In a medium bowl, combine salsa ingredients and place in refrigerator to allow flavors to combine while you prepare marlin.

FOR THE FISH:

Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat until hot. Brush marlin steaks with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on grill pan and cook for 3 minutes. Turn, and cook until desired doneness, about 2 - 3 more minutes for medium rare. This fish is better undercooked than overcooked.
Remove marlin steaks to a serving plate and let rest for five minutes then slice across the grain. Fan slices on plate and spoon salsa over fish and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
