A favorite fish recipe: Seasame-Teriyaki Sea Bass

This recipe is a favorite of both me, and my husband especially.  For those of you who don't really like fish, I suggest trying this because it has a sweet and salty flavor that completely covers the fishy taste.  The title suggests sea bass, but you can use whatever kind of fish fillets you would like, as long as they're thin.  We use flounder.  It's fast (takes about 25 minutes) and easy, and serves four.

Sesame-Teriyaki Sea Bass
four 4-oz fresh or frozen fish fillets, 1/2 to 3/4 in thick
1/4 tsp pepper
3 tbs soy sauce
1/4 cup sweet rice wine or mirin
2 tsp honey
2 tsp cooking oil
2 tsp sesame seeds

Step 1

Thaw fish, if frozen.  Rinse and pat dry.  Sprinkle with pepper.

Step 2

Glaze prep: In a small saucepan combine soy sauce, mirin/wine, and honey.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes.  Allow to thicken, if you want.

Step 3

While preparing sauce, fry fish in hot oil over a medium heat until golden and flaky.  Drain on paper towels.

Step 4

To serve, put fillets on a plate and drizzle with sauce.  Enjoy!
