This was a seriously delicious recipe! The sweet & sticky glaze gave the fish a fantastic flavor. I had no idea how to cook marlin before this! Thanks.

I’ve never cooked marlin before and found your recipe online. Decided to try it out and cooked it for my family. They loved it! Simple and easy to prepare but quite delicious. Thanks for sharing and I hope others give it a try too! Happy Holidays!

I made this, but I used olive oil, not butter. This is seriously scrumptious! My new favorite marinade! I’ll be using it on salmon, mero, and probably chicken. FABU recipe!

Was at the Sydney fish market looking for swordfish fillets, but was unable to find any. But then I saw marlin fillets which were roughly the same size. Had no idea how best to cook them, whether roast in the oven in foil with lemon slices, crumb them, batter them or pan fry them. Found this recipe and so glad I did! The marlin was absolutely delicious, especially the honey and soy combination. Will definitely be doing this recipe again. However next time, I will serve it to dinner guests to see if they like it as much as I did, instead of eating it alone…

We have Marlin around Guam a LOT. I never really cared for it until I found this recipe, now we eat it frequently.

When you store the fish in the fridge after drying it, do you cover it? please visit: https://www.beckandbulow.com

This is definitely a dlei ious and Oh So Easy recipe. I have just searched for it a second time … so glad I found it again!! Thank you for posting.
BTW…. If you love ginger, the addition of a teaspoon or more of chopped ginger is awesome in this, too … when it caramelizes it adds one more delicious burst to this wonderful firm fish.

Looks delicious! My friend dropped off some fresh swordfish steaks, would this recipe work with swordfish?
Thanks 😊
