Fish with Honey Soy Glaze
I tried this recipe a quite sometime ago, and I liked how it turned out although I used the powdered garlic and omitted the ginger. This time, I actually used freshly grated ginger and garlic, and Msr. Quatre and I thought I've made a completely new dish. I served the fish on top of Asian style couscous (instead of the regular butter, and stock, and cumin, I used soy sauce and sesame sauce) and broccoli and onion stir fry, but I think this will be good with just plain rice and bok choy.
Fish with Honey Soy Glaze
(make: 2 servings)
2 fillet of fish your choice - preferably skin on (I've used snapper, trevally, and salmon)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1.5 tbs honey
lime juice from 1/2 of lime
1 tbs sesame oil
1/4 tsp of chili flake (or less if your chili flake is extra spicy)
about 1 cm/ 1/2 inch fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic
1 tbs vegetable/canola oil
For couscous
1/2 cup couscous
1/2 cup + 2 tbs hot water/ broth
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp soy sauce
All this part is optional, but it's nice to season the couscous
1/2 tsp parsley - fresh or dried doesn't really matter
1/4 tsp ground paprika
freshly ground black pepper
For fish: First grate the ginger and garlic and put them in a medium bowl. Whisk together the grated garlic, ginger, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, lime juice and chili flake until well combined. Reserve about 1.5 tbs of honey soy and in sauce pan, heat the rest of the mixture over medium high heat on a tiny pan until mixture is reduce, stir often.
Put fish in the 1.5 tbs honey soy bowl. Coat the fish with the honey soy and then let it sit with skin side up for about 30 min - 1 hour.
Heat grill pan or medium skillet, add the vegetable/canola oil, and place fish skin side up. Now it depends on how thick your fish is, my fishes took about 3 minute on each side. Carefully flip fish, and cook the other side. While the other side is cooking, brush the fish with the honey soy glaze. Check the fish doneness. To serve, make a bed of couscous on plate, place the fish on top, and lightly drizzle with the remaining honey soy.
For couscous : While waiting for the grill pan to get hot, place the couscous, hot water and everything else BUT THE PARSLEY in a bowl, give it a quick stir. Cover and let sit until fish is ready.
