This recipe works best with a nice, firm white fish, such as red snapper, grouper, or tilapia. Cooking time does not include the 2 hours of marinating time. Ingredients:
1/4 cup orange juice |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
2 tablespoons ketchup |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 teaspoon vegetable oil (i have used 3/4 tsp veg oil and 1/4 tsp sesame oil as well) |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground |
16 ounces fish fillets, preferably a nice firm white fish, such as red snapper, grouper, cod, tilapia (cut into 4 serving size pieces) |
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted |
Directions:
1. Place the orange juice, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, lemon juice, oil, and black pepper in a small bowl; stir well to combine.
2. Arrange the fish in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour the orange juice mixture over the fillets. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, turning once.
3. Remove the fillets from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Set half of the marinade aside.
4. Place fillets on a lightly greased rack in a shallow roasting pan. Broil fillets 6 inches from heat for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, basting occasionally with the marinade.
5. Transfer fish to a serving platter. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds (I toast mine in a skillet while the fish is in the oven) over the fillets, and serve with the reserved marinade.
