Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) Marlin steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Pat the marlin steaks dry with a paper towel, then brush both sides with olive oil.
Season both sides of the steaks with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Place the marlin steaks on the preheated grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.
While the fish is cooking, prepare the lemon butter sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the minced garlic to the butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped parsley. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the grilled marlin steaks.
Garnish with extra parsley if desired and serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or rice.
