Grilled or Baked Marlin Steak

Ingredients

·        1 7oz steak per serving

·        Olive oil

·        Salt & pepper

·        Lemon

 

Grilled Instructions

Bring your meat to room temp and heat your barbecue on high
Rub a bit of olive oil on both sides of the blue marlin and season both sides liberally with salt and fresh cracked black pepper.

Cook the fish for 3 minutes on each side over high heat with the lid open.

Tip: Don’t move the steak or try to flip it too early. After 3 minutes it will release from the grill without any sticking.
Depending on the thickness you may need only 2 minutes for the second side. The aim is to have the center remain
slightly translucent. 

Do not overcook! (last night's was 1.5 inch thick tapered so I did 5 and 3 min, you could feed this to a person whom doesn't like fish,
the texture and colour was similar to a thick tender pork chop, if I was blind folded, I'm not sure I could identify this as fish!)

Squeeze some fresh lemon over the blue marlin steak before eating.

Baked Instructions

Bake at 350 degrees F for 7 minutes on each side. Marlin has it's own strong flavor and can be cooked or marinated with just
about anything. Garlic, butter, lemon and parsley are fine. Try olive oil, balsamic vinegar and rosemary if you like.
Marlin can certainly be pan fried or broiled too.
