GRILLED MARLIN WITH BUTTER CAPER SAUCE

GRILLED MARLIN WITH BUTTER CAPER SAUCE

DINNER AT HOME

This simple dish was delicious even though I ruined my first batch of sauce which was going to be a White Wine, Butter, Caper Cream Sauce.  Used some bad white wine and did not reduce it enough.  Tasted like vinegar.  Rather than try to salvage the sauce, I just quickly went with butter and capers.  We had one ear of corn so I roasted it and sautéed with zucchini, onion and carrots.  What saved this dish is the freshness of the fish.  So good all on its own.  Lucky to live and eat Hawaii!

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.

DINNER AT HOME

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!

DINNER AT HOME

When I saw fresh Marlin for $4.99 per pound I grabbed it.  This is a great price on a delicious fish.  Cooked up this great dinner in just a few minutes and the family loved it.  Made the sauce because I had Italian Parsley and Cilantro in the fridge.  Also had a bunch of cabbage so I made some delicious Cole Slaw.  Enjoying great fresh fish like this is another reason we say "lucky to live Hawaii"
