How to make it
- Preparation
- In a medium bowl, combine salsa ingredients and place in refrigerator to allow flavors to combine while you prepare marlin.
- Place marlin steaks in a shallow dish and squeeze lime juice over top, lifting up edges of steaks to allow juice to reach underside. Let marlin marinate in lime juice for 5 minutes.
- Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and spray with Eat-Clean Cooking Spray. Spray top of marlin steaks and season with half of salt and half of pepper. Place on grill and cook for 2 minutes. Turn, spray with more Eat-Clean Cooking Spray and season with remaining salt and pepper. Cook until desired doneness, about 2 more minutes for medium rare. This fish is better undercooked than overcooked.
- Remove marlin steaks to a serving plate and spoon salsa over top.
- *Though imported blue marlin is overfished and therefore not a sustainable option, Hawaiian wild-caught blue marlin is a good alternative. Other sustainable options include North Atlantic swordfish and US Albacore or Yellowfin tuna.
