Ingredients
- 2 (6oz.) portions of Popsie’s Wild Caught Alaska Sablefish
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- ½ cup shredded scallions
- ¼ cup cream
Sauce
- ½ cup sunflower oil
- 4 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 4 teaspoons ginger, grated
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 4 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons mirin
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the sauce
- Sprinkle Sablefish with salt and set aside while you prepare the sauce. Heat sunflower oil in a small saucepan over medium. Sauté garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add remaining sauce ingredients, turn heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce to low heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 2: Cook the Sablefish
- In a straight-sided sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Add the sablefish and pan fry until both sides are golden. Add sauce and simmer for 5 minutes on low heat.
Step 3: Cook the scallions
- In a small saucepan, pour in cream and heat until just below a simmer. Add the scallions and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Step 4: Plate and serve
- Ladle the sauce into two shallow bowls. Cut Sablefish into four 3-ounce portions and place one piece in each bowl. Top with scallions and serve immediately.
