MARLIN STEAKS WITH PUMPKIN AND BEAN SALAD- Paleo
Serves 2 (with left over salad)
I have to give a shout-out to my husband for tonight's dinner! He cooked the merlin beautifully on the BBQ! YUM!!! This dish is paleo and I haven't yet worked out how many WW Pro-Points but will do so ASAP. The fish was absolutely yummy and the salad is a mix of two of my fav salad recipes from the 'Quick Fix in the Thermomix' cookbook. Hope you enjoy!!!! It's definitely a new favourite of ours that's for sure!!
Ingredients
2 steaks of Merlin
Olive Oil (to run on fish steaks)
1000g Pumpkin (cut into cubes)
500g stringless beans (ends trimmed)
150g raw almonds
40g Nuttelex (dairy free spread)
2-3 garlic cloves
Juice of 1 lemon
Method
1) Place almonds into the TMX bowl and chop for 2 seconds on speed 6. Set aside.
2) Fill TMX bowl with 700g water. Place varoma steamer on top and add pumpkin pieces. Steam for 14 minutes on Varoma temperature on speed 3.
3) Scatter beans on top of pumpkin and steam for a further 6 minutes on Varoma temperature, speed 3. Set pumpkin and beans aside, leaving the lid of the varoma on.
4) Dry out TMX bowl thoroughly. Place garlic cloves into bowl and chop for 2 seconds on speed 6. Add chopped almonds and nuttelex and saute for 5 minutes at 100 degrees on speed 1.
5) Add pumpkin and beans to a large salad bowl and pour butter almond mixture over the top. Stir through. (the reason we don't put this back into the TMX bowl to stir is because there is too much to fit in!!) Set salad aside.
6) Heat the BBQ Grill until it is a high heat. Meanwhile, rub the Marlin steaks with oil and crack salt and pepper on both sides. (super important for BBQ to be HOT)
7) Cook Marlin steaks on the BBQ for 2 minutes on each side. 2 minutes is all it needs. Cook so that fish is still translucent through the middle. Overcooking this fish makes it extremely chewy and pulls out all of the flavour. Trust me- 2 minutes each side!! Leave fish to rest for a few minutes.
8) Serve Marlin with pumkin and bean salad and a few wedges of lemon. DELICIOUS!!
