Ceviche of Smoked Marlin Salad

This is one of the most refreshing salad dishes I make. It’s crisp and fresh, and the smokiness of the marlin creates an incredibly memorable experience. I like to say that the thinner the marlin slice the better. Keeping the marlin in the freezer before cutting allows for a thinner slice.
