Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider substituting lemon juice for some of the tarragon vinegar. If you prefer a milder taste, use white wine vinegar instead. Make sure to marinate the fish for at least 3 hours to enhance the flavor. Keep a close eye on the fish while broiling, as cooking times may vary depending on your broiler's intensity.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the broiled fish with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a light meal. It pairs beautifully with Easy Cheese Balls as an appetizer. Consider drizzling a bit of extra tarragon vinegar or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top for brightness.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover broiled fish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the fish in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. Avoid using the microwave as it can make the fish rubbery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fish steaks for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen fish steaks. Just make sure to thaw them completely in the refrigerator before marinating. This will ensure even absorption of flavors and proper cooking during broiling.
What type of fish works best for broiling?
Firm fish like salmon, swordfish, or halibut are excellent choices for broiling. These types hold up well to high heat and won’t fall apart during cooking, making them ideal for this method.
Can I add other herbs to the marinade?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with other herbs such as dill or basil to customize the flavor profile of your dish. Just remember to adjust the quantities based on your taste preferences.
