Ingredients

  • 4 fish fillets (such as tilapia, cod, or snapper)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable broth or water
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
  • Sear the Fish: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, sear the fish fillets for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  • Cook the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add sliced onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  • Make the Braising Sauce: Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and vegetable broth to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Braised Fish: Carefully return the seared fish fillets to the skillet. Add the bell pepper slices around the fish. Cover the skillet and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and tender.
  • Finish: Drizzle with sesame oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds (if using), and garnish with fresh cilantro.
  • Serve: Serve the braised fish hot with steamed rice or your favorite side dish.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sauce seasoning by adding more soy sauce or sugar based on your taste preferences.
  • For a spicier version, add chili flakes or fresh chili to the sauce.
  • Feel free to use any fish fillets that are available to you, just ensure they are firm enough to hold up while braising.
