How to Make Marlin Pineapple Kabobs

Preheat your broiler.
Peel and core one medium pineapple (approx. 2 lbs).
Cut 1 cup of the pineapple flesh into 12 cubes and set aside.
Coarsely chop the remaining pineapple (approx. 1 cup).
Place the chopped pineapple in a blender along with 1/2 cup orange juice and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger.
Blend until smooth.
Pour the pineapple puree into a shallow baking dish or bowl.
Cut 1 pound of marlin into 16 cubes (approximately 1 inch each).
Add the marlin cubes to the pineapple mixture, gently tossing to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (longer is better!).
Prepare the skewers: Thread four marlin cubes and three pineapple cubes onto each of eight 8-inch skewers.
Place the skewers on a lightly oiled broiler pan.
Broil 4 inches from the heat for 4-5 minutes per side, turning three times for even cooking.
**Make the sauce:** Pour the reserved marinade into a 1-quart saucepan.
Bring to a gentle simmer.
Remove from heat and whisk in 1/4 cup mayonnaise until smooth.
Serve the kabobs immediately, drizzled with the pineapple-mayonnaise sauce.
