BARBECUE MARLIN WITH SPICY YELLOW RICE WITH RED BEANS, AND AVOCADO PUREE
Steps:
- Combine the ancho chile powder, sugar, ground fennel, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle 1 side of the marlin with about 1 teaspoon of the spice mixture. Heat oil in a large saute pan and sear the fish, spice-side down, until golden brown. Turn the fish over and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Brush with the barbecue sauce, turn over, and cook for 30 seconds. Turn over and brush with more of the sauce. Keep warm. In the center of each of 4 dinner plates, place 2 heaping tablespoons of Spicy Yellow Rice with Red Beans. Place a marlin fillet on top of the rice at an angle. On one side of the marlin fillet, at the base of the mound of rice, place a dollop of Avocado Puree.
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the ancho, cumin, and cayenne and cook for 2 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat each grain with the mixture. Add the water and saffron, and salt, to taste. Bring to a boil. Cover the pot, lower the heat, and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Fold in the beans and green onions and re-season.
- Place avocado and lime juice in a food processor and process until smooth. Add the honey and pulse 3 times. Add the cilantro and pulse until just combined but there are still some flecks. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
MAZATLAN SMOKED MARLIN TACOS
Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat and saute the red peppers, onions and garlic until the onions are translucent and the peppers are tender, about 6 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes and let the mixture cook until it changes color, about 6 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato puree, olives, wine, parsley, capers, black pepper, chipotle chiles, guero chiles, bay leaves, oregano and thyme. Cover and cook until the flavors are well combined, about 6 minutes, and then incorporate the marlin. If it is dry, add a little more wine or water. Remove the bay leaves and oregano and thyme sprigs before serving.
- Shred the cabbage and warm the tortillas in a hot pan. Put the tortillas in a thermal tortilla server to keep warm. Assemble the tacos by placing 4 ounces of the marlin mixture in 2 warm tortillas, one on top of the other one. Top with a substantial amount of shredded cabbage. Garnish with some mayonnaise and lime wedges, if desired. Serve immediately.
GRILLED MARLIN
Steps:
- Season marlin with salt and pepper, rub with olive oil. Grill until they just turn white and are firm.
- Heat oil in a wok until very hot. Saute carrots and red cabbage until just limp, add bok choy, Chinese cabbage and onion, saute until warm but crisp, about 2 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together vinaigrette ingredients, excluding the olive oil. Slowly add oil in a small stream until the dressing is emulsified. Place vegetables in the center of the plate. Place grilled marlin on top. Drizzle vinaigrette over marlin and around the edge of the plate. Garnish with fresh orange sections.

Steps:
- In a large, heavy-bottomed nonstick saucepan (preferably stainless steel), heat the oil over low heat. Add the fennel, onion, garlic, and shallot and saute gently, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until they soften and turn slightly translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add the sweet potato, raise the heat to medium-high, and continue sauteing, stirring very frequently to prevent sticking or burning, until the sweet potato deepens in color and begins turning fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Season lightly with salt and add the wine. Stir continuously as the wine simmers, until it has almost evaporated completely, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add just enough of the cream to cover the sweet potatoes barely. As the cream simmers and is absorbed by the sweet potatoes, keep stirring continuously, making sure that the cubes do not stick to the bottom; add a little more of the cream from time to time as necessary to keep the mixture from turning dry.
- When the sweet potatoes are tender and the liquid has thickened and enveloped the potatoes, after 10 to 12 minutes, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the butter pieces and about two-thirds of the Parmesan, and then adjust the seasonings with a little more salt if necessary.
- To serve, spoon the mixture onto individual plates. Garnish with a hint of nutmeg, a little more Parmesan, and some torn sage leaves.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Marlin: Select a fresh, firm marlin steak with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a strong fishy odor.
- Marinate the Marlin: Marinating the marlin in a flavorful mixture of lime juice, olive oil, garlic, and herbs enhances its taste and tenderizes it.
- Use High-Quality Sweet Potatoes: Opt for sweet potatoes that are firm, brightly colored, and free of blemishes. This ensures a creamy and flavorful risotto.
- Cook the Risotto Patiently: Risotto requires patience and attention to detail. Gradually add the broth and stir frequently to achieve a creamy, al dente texture.
- Garnish Wisely: Finish the dish with a touch of freshness and color by garnishing it with chopped cilantro or parsley, lime wedges, and a drizzle of olive oil.
