This sweet and salty marlin recipe is a must! The marinade can be applied to most firm white fish and can be used as a braai marinade as well.
Garlic Soy Marlin Steaks
Serves 2
Ingredients
- 2 marlin steaks
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 3 Tbsp butter (melted)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tsp honey
Instructions
- Combine the minced garlic, melted butter, soy sauce and honey in a jug
- Remove fish from packaging and pat dry
- Place fish in a marinading dish and pour marinade over the steaks
- Cover the dish with a lid or cling film and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes
- Turn steaks over and allow to marinade for a further 30 minutes
- On a medium to high heat, pan fry the steaks for 3 minutes a side
- Scoop any extra marinade over the fish while it's cooking
- Remove from heat and allow to rest in a separate dish for 1 minute
- Serve immediately with your choice of sides
Notes
- If butter in the marinade solidifies at room temperature, be sure to smear it on top of the fish and constantly stir the marinade.
We have Marlin around Guam a LOT. I never really cared for it until I found this recipe, now we eat it frequently.
When you store the fish in the fridge after drying it, do you cover it?
I served it with miso-baked eggplant and lime-glazed sweet potato.
This is definitely a delicious and Oh So Easy recipe. I have just searched for it a second time … so glad I found it again!! Thank you for posting.
BTW…. If you love ginger, the addition of a teaspoon or more of chopped ginger is awesome in this, too … when it caramelizes it adds one more delicious burst to this wonderful firm fish.
Thanks for your recipe. So flavorful, my wife and I really enjoyed it. Besides, it’s not difficult at all.
