What is Sablefish?
Sablefish is a light buttery white fish, next of kin to Chilean Sea Bass but thinner, usually a bit more dense, and more affordable! It is also called Black Cod and butterfish. It is a decadent fatty fish that is hard to mess up because it is so moist even if you overcook it. Give it a try! You will be hooked!!
Key Ingredients and Substitutions
- Sablefish – You can substitute another fatty fish like Chilean Sea Bass or Salmon. I had the skin removed but you can use fish with the skin on also.
- Lime – or lemon if you prefer.
- Fresh Ginger – or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil – or Avocado oil.
- Coconut Aminos – This is a sauce that tastes like soy sauce but is made from the sap of the coconut plant. It is lower in sodium than soy sauce. You can use low sodium soy sauce but the result will still be saltier. Or for a gluten-free option that also contains less sodium, go for low sodium tamari.
- Honey – for a hint of sweetness and some texture. You can also use light maple syrup or molasses, or agave nectar. Agave nectar is sweeter than honey so you will want to cut the amount in half.
Preparation
- Make the Honey Ginger Sauce: Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a bowl and whisk well to combine.
2. Prepare the fish by rinsing and patting it dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and add the fish “skin” side down. Cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook another 5 minutes. Reduce the heat and pour the sauce over the fish. Cook for another minute. Plate the fish and spoon the remaining sauce over the fish and accompanying sides (here it is with roasted asparagus and organic 90 second Seeds of Change Jasmine Rice).
Equipment
Whisk and All-Clad 4 Quart Pan (or large non-stick pan)
What to Serve with Honey Ginger Sablefish
Healthy vegetable options like steamed green beans, broccoli, roasted asparagus, Mashed Cauliflower, Sheet Pan Green Vegetables or or a simple side salad. Couple your veggie with your favorite rice, couscous or quinoa. My go-to for a fast stove top fish or meat recipe, is Seeds of Change organic 90 second rice and quinoa packages like the Seeds of Change Jasmine Rice seen here.
