Really good. I served it with rice, pickled cucumbers and pickled ginger. It's spicy and the cucumbers are a nice cooling taste.

How To Make spicy honey garlic black cod

  • 1
    First place the cucumbers in a bowl and season with salt. Mix the vinegar and water together. Pour over the cucumbers and place in fridge.

    Mix the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and chili paste together. Place in a flat shallow dish and place the fish flesh side down. Let marinate for 2 hours.
  • 3
    Add oil to a cast iron pan. Remove the fish from the marinade and dry with paper towels. Add the marinade to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower heat to med low and reduce for about 5 minutes. If it caramelizes, add water to make sure it is thick but liquid.

    Add the cod to the pan skin side down. Cook about 5 minutes to get a good crispy skin. Turn the fish and cook about 7 more minutes more or less depending on how thick the fish is.
