Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp ground black pepper
3 large cloves garlic, finely minced
3 shallots, finely minced
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 1/2 lbs catfish , filet (can substitute with halibut , striped bass , or pacific flounder)

Directions:

In a bowl, mix the fish sauce, brown sugar, honey, pepper, garlic and shallots.
In a dutch oven, melt the sugar and cook until golden brown. Add the water. Add the coconut milk and stir. Add the fish and the contents of the bowl. Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and let simmer for at least 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. After 15 minutes, turn the fish over so that both sides soak in the sauce. Add more coconut milk if the sauce starts to dry out. Before serving, take off the lid so that the sauce can thicken a bit. Serve immediately with jasmine rice.
