Sesame Crusted Yellowtail

Submitted by kda949

"I found this recipe while looking for a good Yellowtail recipe for some extra fish our neighbor gave up. It was really had to find one on the traditional websites! I found this one at http://www.bigfishtackle.com/forum/Fish_and_Game_Recipes_C65/Fish_recipes_F116/Yellowtail_Recipes_P162066/ posted by TubeN2. It was so good that I wanted to post it here so that I would not loose it. This would be good with any firm mild fish."

Very quick and simple to make. The family loved it and said "I'd eat this every night"

This was a great recipe. And I agree that the sauce is exceptional! I could totally see myself using the same sauce with other white fish! Thanks for sharing!

Such good sauce!!! Yes double it for sure as a nice drizzle over rice too. ������

A really nice light crust on the fish, especially the toasted sesame seeds; the fish stayed really moist. I recommend doubling or tripling the sauce - it has fabulous flavor, but the original amount barely makes enough to dribble a bit on each filet.

Wow! The fish browned up beautifully and was nice and moist. Next time I'll double the sauce. It is fantastic.
