• Ready In: 1hr 20mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon gingerroot, fresh, minced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1⁄4 cup cilantro, fresh, divided
• 3⁄4 teaspoon table salt, divided
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 lb uncooked halibut, fillet(s)
• 1 tablespoon peanut oil

directions

1. To make marinade, combine honey, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, 2 tablespoons cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a baking dish or bowl; set aside.
2. Wash fish and pat it dry. Rub remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper into both sides of halibut. Add fish to marinade, cover dish or bowl and refrigerate, turning once or twice, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
3. When you’re ready to eat, remove fish from marinade; reserve marinade.
4. Set a heavy skillet over medium heat; add oil. When oil beings to shimmer, add fish; cook until the flesh is no longer translucent, flipping once, about 4 to 6 minutes per side, depending on thickness of fillets. Immediately remove fish to a serving plate and tent to keep warm.
5. Set same skillet over medium heat; add marinade and cook until marinade thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes. Pour marinade over fish and garnish with remaining cilantro. Serve immediately. Yields about 3 1/2 ounces fish per serving.
