Categories: Eating Clean

Ingredients

  • Salsa
  • • 1 cup / 240 ml fresh strawberries, stemmed and quartered
  • • 2 nectarines, pits removed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • • 1 red chili pepper (red jalapeño), seeded and finely chopped
  • • 1 Tbsp / 15 ml finely chopped red onion
  • • 2 Tbsp / 30 ml fresh lime juice
  • • 1 Tbsp / 15 ml chopped fresh mint
  • • 1 Tbsp / 15 ml chopped fresh cilantro
  • • Scant pinch sea salt
  • • Scant pinch black pepper
  • Marlin
  • • 4 x 5 oz / 140 g wild-caught Hawaiian blue marlin* steaks (can substitute swordfish or tuna)
  • • 1 Tbsp / 15 ml fresh lime juice
  • • Eat-Clean Cooking Spray
  • • 1 tsp / 5 ml sea salt, divided
  • • 1/2 tsp / 2.5 ml freshly ground black pepper, divided

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine salsa ingredients and place in refrigerator to allow flavors to combine while you prepare marlin.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Remove marlin steaks to a serving plate and spoon salsa over top.
