Broiled Marlin with Spicy Olive Tapenade

 

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp. Chopped fresh rosemary, or 1 tsp. Dried
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 1/2 tbsps. Balsamic vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 4 marlin fillets
• 1 cup tapenade
• 1 tbsp. Parsley, finely minced

 

Tapenade:

• 1 cup pitted black olives
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp. Onion, minced
• 3 tbsps. Capers
• 1/4 tsp. Dried thyme
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
• 1/4 tsp. Fresh lemon juice

 

Mix together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic and rosemary in a shallow baking dish. Add the marlin fillets turning them once in the marinade. Cover marlin and let marinate approximately half an hour.

 

Preheat the broiler. Place marlin on a rack in a broiler pan (spray or lightly coat the rack with oil to prevent sticking.) Broil 4 inches from heat for about 4 or 5 minutes. Turn carefully and broil another 4 minutes or so until cooked through. The marlin should be opaque in colour. Remove fillets from oven and place on a platter. Cover each with a layer of tapenade, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

 

Tapenade:

 

Place all tapenade ingredients, except oil, in a food processor and process off and on until chopped but still chunky. With machine running add oil through the tube and process until finely chopped but not pureed. This will keep in the fridge for up to a week.
