Combine soy sauce, ginger, and honey in a bowl until well blended.

Prepare a baking dish and transfer the blue marlin steaks into it, using half of the marinade for the steaks and reserving the other half for later.

Marinate the blue marlin steaks in the fridge for 30 minutes.

To make the glaze, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until thickened.

Turn off the heat and transfer the thickened sauce to a small bowl.

Prepare to grill corn for the salsa by heating a griddle with oil to medium-high heat.

Grill the corn for about 10-15 minutes until cooked, then transfer it to a plate to cool down.

Cut the tomatoes in half and transfer them to a bowl.

Dice the mangoes into small cubes and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Add extra mango juice to the bowl for more flavor.

Chop some onions and coriander, then add them to the bowl.

Remove the corn from the cob and add it to the bowl.

Squeeze lemon juice over the salsa mixture and add freshly ground black pepper.

Mix everything together until well blended and set aside until ready to use.

Heat oil in a griddle over medium heat for grilling the blue marlin steaks.

Grill the blue marlin steaks for 60 seconds on one side, being careful not to overcook them to avoid a rubbery texture.

Brush the glaze over the fish before flipping it over.

Turn the fish slowly to avoid breaking it, and brush the glaze on the other side as well.

Once cooked, transfer the fish to a plate and arrange the blue marlin steaks with the grilled corn mango salsa on a serving plate.
