🐟 MARINATED FISH STEAKS

Tender, juicy, lightly caramelized.

Best Fish Options

• Salmon steaks

• Tuna steaks

• Snapper

• Swordfish

• Mahi-mahi

• Halibut

Instructions

1. Place fish steaks in a shallow dish or zip bag.

2. Pour the Universal Marinade over them.

3. Marinating time:

   • Light fish (snapper, mahi-mahi): 15–30 minutes

   • Firm fish (salmon, tuna, swordfish): 30–45 minutes
     Do not exceed 1 hour; the acidity will start “cooking” the fish.

4. Heat grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium-high.

5. Lightly oil the surface.

6. Cook fish:

   • 3–4 minutes per side for thinner fish

   • 5–6 minutes per side for thick salmon or tuna steaks

7. Spoon leftover marinade (boiled for 1 minute to make it safe) on top as a glaze.

8. Serve with lemon wedges and herbs.

Optional Flavor Boost

Brush with melted butter during grilling for added richness.

3. Marinating time:

   • Minimum: 1 hour

   • Ideal: 4 hours

   • Maximum: 12 hours (overnight)

4. Heat grill or skillet to medium-high.

5. Cook chicken:

   • 6–8 minutes per side, depending on thickness

   • Internal temperature: 74°C / 165°F

6. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing (very important for juiciness).
