Ingredients

• 2 pieces (6 oz each) Blue Marlin fillets
• 1 large Spaghetti squash
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon (divided) Salt
• 1 teaspoon (divided) Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Carefully slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the cut sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the squash is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.

Step 4

While the squash is roasting, prepare the Blue Marlin fillets. Brush them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season both sides with 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, grill the Blue Marlin fillets for 3-4 minutes per side or until they are nicely charred on the outside and flake easily with a fork. Remove from the grill and set aside to rest.

Step 6

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.

Step 7

Using a fork, scrape the flesh of the roasted spaghetti squash to create spaghetti-like strands. Divide the squash evenly between two serving plates.

Step 8

Place a grilled Blue Marlin fillet on top of each mound of spaghetti squash. Drizzle the lemon-garlic sauce over the fish and squash.

Step 9

Garnish with extra parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
