Garlic Soy Fish

Garlic Soy Glazed Whitefish

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb white fish I used Vietnameese Swai, but tilapia or cod would work as well.
  • kosher salt
  • ground white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • ½ lemon juiced
  • 2 green onions white and green thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • If using frozen fish, thaw in a container lined with paper towels. The goal is to get as much water out of them before cooking as possible.
  • When ready to cook, season the fish on both sides lightly with kosher salt and white pepper.
  • Whisk together honey, garlic, soy sauce, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and heat enough that the fish will sizzle. Carefully add the fish filets and gently press down with the back of your fingers or a spatula. Allow them to cook without moving them until half the fish has turned white, then carefully slide a spatula under each piece and gently turn it to the other side to cook one minute longer.
  • Pour the sauce around the fish and cook until the sauce thickens, carefully flipping the fish half way through.
  • Place the fish on a bed of rice, or riced cauliflower. Pour the remaining sauce over top and garnish with the sliced green onion.
