I have been baking and cooking, just not posting.
Something happened at work and I was completely, utterly pissed that I was not mentally cool enough to write. I would probably end up bitching and bitching, more bitching.
Life is unfair, so live with it ...
A colleague said: "It's just not your time yet." - Maybe, but it just seems too much to swallow at this point of time ...
Eversince my kids tasted the ready made Saba fish at grandma’s house, they are hooked. Being me, who don’t like ready made food, prefer to do it myself. Yes, you are right; I don’t trust those guys out there to prepare my meals.
Frozen Saba fish fillets are easily available in local supermarket, or you can replace it with salmon fish. This dish is super, super easy yet super, super tasty.
Ingredients:
2 Saba fish fillets
2 teaspoons of oil
1 ½ tablespoon teriyaki sauce to marinate fish
1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon water
Directions:
- Clean fish fillets and drip dry as much as possible.
- Add oil to coat the fish.
- Add 1 ½ tablespoon teriyaki sauce to the fillets, ensure all surfaces are coated. Marinate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 200C.
- Lightly oil a baking tray, place fillets in it and bake for 10 – 12 minutes.
- In a small bowl, add 1 table spoon teriyaki sauce and 1 table spoon of water; mix well.
- When the fish is cooked, add in teriyaki sauce and water mixtue into baking tray. Continue to bake till sauce boiled, about 1 - 2 minutes, or till you are happy with the consistency. Just don't over-cook the fish or worse, burn it.
- Remove from oven, serve hot.
Alernatively, you can also cook the fish with a stove. I have tried both; this time I used my precious cast iron grill pan. It gave that very nice chared lines. Other than that, oven bake is so much easier.
A few notes if you chose to cook on your stove top.
1. Put in the fish when the pan and oil are hot.
2. Cook the fillets skin side facing up first, to retain mositure.
3. Leave the fillets alone till the surfaces are sealed. If not you will end up with broken pieces.
So, oven or stove ??
Since I have been there and done both, I would say oven. Definitely oven.
