Sablefish with Mushroom Sauce
Sablefish with Mushroom Caramel Sauce
Sablefish, also known as Black Cod, has the ability to take on flavors and make the fish taste all the better. The loose muscle bands always make for crispy edges. Serve this rich combination with simple white rice and a steamed vegetable.

Make Mushroom Sauce
- In small saucepan over medium heat, simmer the cider vinegar and water just to boiling. Add mushrooms, turn off the heat, and let the mixture sit for a few minutes until soft.
- Strain out mushrooms and reserve liquid.
- In medium saucepan, combine the mushroom liquid, the sugar, and honey. Heat on low until the color changes to a light amber. Add in the whiskey and ignite to let alcohol burn off.
