Ingredients (2 servings) :
- 2 Swordfish fillets
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- Rice bran oil, as needed *Canola oil is also OK!
- 4 Green peas for garnishing
(Teriyaki Sauce)
- 1 Tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp Mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 1 Tbsp Sake (rice wine)
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
Instructions :
1. Preparation
Lightly salt both sides of the swordfish and let sit for about 5 minutes. Pat off any moisture (to remove fishy smell).
2. Cooking the Swordfish
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat, cook the swordfish until both sides are golden brown, then remove from the pan.
3. Making the Sauce
Wash the frying pan from step (2), add all the ingredients for Teriyaki sauce and bring to a boil.
4. Combine with Swordfish
Return the swordfish to the pan and cook, occasionally spooning the sauce over the fish, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
5. Finish and Serve
Place the swordfish on a serving dish garnished with green peas.
