I know my way around cooking shellfish, but cooking fish in general, intimidates me.
That’s why I joined an Alaskan co-op of fisherman last year. You don’t get more land locked than living in Nebraska 😉.
Sitka Salmon shares not only sells you the fish, they provide great (easy!) recipes.
Tonight I made Teriyaki Wild Alaskan Black Cod (Sablefish) from the vessel known as the Bella Dawn. I’m hooked 🎣😍

Prep Time: 5 min Cook Time: 20 min Servings: Serves:4 Source: sitkasalmonshares.com

INGREDIENTS

1 lb sablefish (black cod) fillets, cut into 4 pieces

1 teaspoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon water

1/2 cup soy sauce

3 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger

4 garlic cloves, minced to a paste

1/4 cup mirin

DIRECTIONS

MAKE TERIYAKI SAUCE

Combine water and cornstarch in a small bowl to create a slurry. In a small saucepan over medium-low, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and mirin. Stir in cornstarch slurry and simmer until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Let cool completely.

MARINATE

In a large resealable bag, place sablefish fillets with teriyaki sauce. Marinate for at least 2 hours—overnight is preferable.

GRILL SABLEFISH

Preheat a gas or charcoal grill over medium heat. Place marinated sablefish fillets skin-side down on the grates. Cover and cook for approximately 12–15 minutes or until the fish begins to flake. Serve immediately!

NOTES

Note: You can use 3/4 cup of your favorite teriyaki sauce mixed with 1 Tbsp freshly grated ginger and 4 finely minced garlic cloves to make this even easier.
