Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or snapper)
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 pieces green onion (scallion)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, combine the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and sesame oil. Mix well to create the sauce.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the fish fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, depending on the thickness, until golden brown and easily releases from the pan.
Gently flip the fish fillets and reduce the heat to medium. Pour the ginger sauce over the fillets evenly.
Cook for another 3-4 minutes, basting the fish occasionally with the sauce, until the fish is fully cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the pan and plate it. Spoon any remaining sauce from the pan over the fish.
Garnish with sliced green onion and serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables.
