👨‍🍳 Method

For the Soy-Honey Sauce

  1. 1
    In a small bowl, mix the gluten-free soy sauce, honey, sesame oil and ginger.
    Bowl
    💡Honey balances the saltiness of the soy and caramelizes over heat: on the grill it gives a browned crust, and in a pan a glossy sauce.

To assemble

  1. 2
    Stir the lemon juice into the marinade. Marinate the fish in the marinade 20 minutes.
  2. 3
    Pat the fish thoroughly dry with paper towels and sprinkle the black pepper over the top.
  3. 4
    Heat the oil in a heavy pan over high heat.

    💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
  4. 5
    Lay the fish in the pan in a single layer and fry 90 seconds.
