[Video Recipe] Baked Blue Marlin Steak

I've been seeing the technique of cooking fish wrapped in aluminum foil and baked in an oven quite a few times in You Tube and other places. I've actually been doing this technique for a while since then, and I thought I'd finally put a recipe I've come up with down on paper (as it were).

I saw some really nice frozen blue marlin steaks at a local grocery and I thought these would be perfect for this demonstration.

These are the things you would need:

1.2 kilo blue marlin steaks (which to me yielded 3 pieces)
3 square-ish sheets of aluminum foil
cold butter
olive oil
6 calamansi (or 1 pc. lemon)
salt and pepper
dried basil leaves
6 cloves chopped garlic
chopped parsley for garnishing

Check out the video for the procedure.



There I specified 20 minutes baking time at 200C, but that's not absolute. You can cook at a lesser time if your fish is smaller or if you use a type of fish that cooks faster like dory.
