Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 fish fillets (about 3 oz/85 g each; yellowtail is commonly used in Japan.)
- ½ tsp salt (for the fish fillets)
- ½ Tbsp all-purpose flour (plain flour) or potato/corn starch (for the fish fillets)
- 4 shishito peppers
Japanese teriyaki sauce:
- 1 ½ Tbsp sake
- 1 ½ Tbsp mirin
- ½ Tbsp sugar
- 1 ½ Tbsp soy sauce
Instructions
- Sprinkle salt on both sides of the fish fillets and let them sit for about 30 minutes. Then, gently pat them dry with paper towels.
- Lightly coat the fillets on both sides with flour or starch.
- In a small bowl, mix the ingredients for Japanese teriyaki sauce (sake, mirin, sugar, and soy sauce).
- Heat oil in a pan and sauté shishito peppers over medium heat until they are slightly golden brown on both sides.
- Remove the peppers from the pan and set them aside. Add a little more oil to the pan, add the fillets, and cook them until both sides are browned.
- Blot any excess oil from the pan with paper towels. Pour the sauce from the bowl into the pan, then increase the heat slightly and let it simmer.
- Tilt the pan slightly and spoon the sauce over the fillets. Continue this process until the sauce thickens.Be careful not to over-reduce the sauce, as it can burn and become bitter. Once the sauce has thickened, remove the pan from the heat immediately.
- Serve the fillets on plates and drizzle a little of the remaining sauce over the top. Garnish with the sautéed shishito peppers.
Notes
- You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
