  • ¼ cup water

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 300˚F.

  2. 2

  4. 4

    Seer the flesh side of each fillet for about 1-2 minutes. Flip and repeat on the skin side. Remove from the heat and pour the sauce over the fish and into the pan.

  5. 5

Tips & Storage

How to Store
Fish is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
Buying Tip
Look for fish that smells fresh (like the ocean, not fishy), has firm flesh, and clear eyes if buying whole. Ask your fishmonger what's freshest that day.
Cooking Tip
Avoid overcooking fish — it should be opaque and flake easily with a fork. Most fish cooks in just 8-10 minutes per inch of thickness.
