DINNER AT HOME

Picked up some beautiful and delicious fresh Marlin for $4.99 per pound.  Simply grilled it and served with a White Wine, Butter and Caper Sauce that was the bomb.  This restaurant quality dinner is not only great tasting but also very inexpensive and healthy.  Entire family loves this.  For the sauce, saute some shallots and garlic in olive oil.  Add White Wine and reduce.  Add Chicken Stock and reduce.  Add Cream and then butter and capers.  Capers provide the salt but you can add to taste.

Fresh fish is abundant and inexpensive now so I bought some Marlin that was only $3.  Grilled it and served with an incredible Pineapple Salsa with Balsamic Glaze.  Also made a little sauce using Shallots, Garlic, Olive Oil, White Wine, Butter and Cream.  My Wife cooked Parmesan Crusted Zucchini in the Air Fryer as a side.  This dinner was more than delicious.  It was amazing!

I used the same piece of Marlin that we picked up for $3.49 per pound and made Fish Tostadas out of to make dinner the next night.  Had enough Marlin left to make two Grilled Filets.  Served with a Garlic Ginger Cream Sauce with Bok Choy and Carrots sautéed in Garlic and Ginger.  So good!

GRILLED MARLIN - DINNER AT HOME

GRILLED MARLIN

DINNER AT HOME 

Love it when I visit the market and find fresh fish that looks delicous even in the cooler.  This week I found a nice chunk of Marlin that was perfectly pink and thick.  One piece was enough to feed the entire family.  I grilled the Marlin on an indoor grill pan and then finished it in a 350 degree oven for around 10 minutes.  The fish was cooked to perfection leaving just a hint of pink in the middle.  The one thing you do  not want to do with Marlin is overcook it.  It is a firm and meaty fish and can become dry if you cook it too long.  Marlin has a mild flavor and it is always good to serve it with a sauce.  I sautéed shallots and garlic in a little bit of olive oil and butter.  Deglazed with white wine and then added some chicken stock.  Reduced and finished with a little more butter, lemon juice, capers and pepper.  No need to add salt as the capers take care of that.  Served up with some Garlic Mashed Potatoes because I ruined the rice that I was going to serve with this dish.

FRESH MARLIN SCAMPI WITH FETTUCINI

FRESH MARLIN SCAMPI

WITH FETTUCINI

Fresh Marlin (Au) was on sale for under $5 per pound.  Wanted to do something to kick up the flavor so I bought a Family Brand Hawaiian Style Scampi Marinade that was also on sale.  We had onion, mushrooms and fresh thyme in the refrigerator so I sautéed the onions, added the mushrooms and then deglazed with white wine.  Added some of the Scampi Marinade and fresh thyme to the pan and heated.  Cooked the Fettucini until al dente and added it to the sauce.  I had already grilled the marinated Marlin and it was ready to top the dish.  Finished off the plate with some parsley and tomato for color.  The entire family loved this quick and inexpensive meal.  Under $15 for three.
