Looking for a simple yet delicious way to prepare rockfish with Asian flavors? This ginger soy glazed rockfish recipe is your answer. Combining the mild taste of rockfish with the bold flavors of ginger and soy, this dish is both healthy and satisfying.
Ingredients
- 4 rockfish fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade:
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. - Marinate the Fish:
Place the rockfish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for 15–20 minutes. - Cook the Fish:
Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Remove the fillets from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and cook them for 3–4 minutes on each side until they are cooked through and have a golden crust. - Prepare the Glaze:
While the fish is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until it thickens slightly. - Serve:
Place the cooked fish on a serving plate, drizzle the glaze over the top, and garnish with sliced green onions and lime wedges.
Tips for Success
- Freshness Matters: Use fresh rockfish for the best flavor and texture.
- Marination Time: Don’t marinate the fish for too long, as the acid in the marinade can start to “cook” the fish.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve with steamed jasmine rice and sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.Allrecipes
