Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Marlin fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Mango, diced
- 1 cup Pineapple, diced
- 1 whole Red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 1 whole Jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (for salsa)
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for salsa)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the marlin fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the fillets are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
While the fish is marinating, prepare the tropical fruit salsa. Combine the diced mango, pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro in a medium bowl.
Add the lime juice, honey, and salt to the fruit mixture, and gently toss to combine. Set aside and let the flavors meld while grilling the fish.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the marlin fillets from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off.
Place the marlin fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the grilled marlin to serving plates and top each fillet with a generous spoonful of the tropical fruit salsa.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Marlin with Tropical Fruit Salsa!
