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.

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.
