This dish is so delicious it is hard to believe it can be
so easy to make. We often cook extra fish so it can be flaked
and used the next day in various ways such as Thai Fish and
Eggplant Salad, Salad Nicoise, or simply mixed with mayonnaise,
lime juice, and chopped chives for sandwich filling.
- 1 Tbl. oil (canola or olive)
- 4 fish steaks - my favorite is tenggiri for this recipe
- 1 lime quartered
Directions :
Make the marinade by mixing all the ingredients except the
oil, fish, and quartered lime. Mix well and put into a plastic
container with a lid that is large enough to hold the fish
in one layer.
Add the fish steaks and turn so they are well coated. Close
the container and put in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours
- you can even leave it over night if the fish is really fresh.
Every 30 minutes turn the steaks so the sauce penetrates it
evenly.
When you are ready to cook the fish, remove them from the
plastic container and put the marinade into a small pot. Boil
this until it is a little bit thickened.
While this is boiling, heat a frying pan large enough to hold
the fish in one layer. Add 1Tbl.oil and when hot add the fish
and cover the pan. Cook about 3-5 minutes on one side, then
turn and cook until done. Be careful not to overcook or it
will be tough and dry. The steaks should be a golden brown.
Serve with the sauce poured over the fish or in a bowl on
the side, with quartered limes to squeeze on as desired.
