Description

These Polynesian Sea Steaks offer a quick and flavorful way to enjoy fresh or frozen fish. The marinade combines the savory sweetness of teriyaki sauce with the bright zing of fresh ginger and orange rind, creating a complex flavor profile that coats each bite. The fish is broiled to perfection, resulting in a tender interior with a slightly caramelized, sticky glaze. This dish is ideal for weeknight dinners when you want something satisfying yet simple to prepare. It pairs wonderfully with steamed rice and vegetables, making it a complete and comforting meal for the whole family.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place fish steaks in a single layer in a shallow pan.
  2. In a small bowl, combine teriyaki sauce, chopped green onions, vegetable oil, minced ginger, and grated orange rind.
  3. Pour the marinade mixture over the fish.
  4. Turn the fish over to coat both sides thoroughly with the marinade.
  5. Marinate the fish for 45 minutes, turning the steaks over occasionally to ensure even flavor absorption.
  6. Remove fish from the marinade and reserve the marinade in a small bowl.
  7. Preheat the broiler.
  8. Place fish steaks on a broiler pan or baking sheet.
  9. Broil fish for 5 to 6 minutes on the first side, brushing frequently with the reserved marinade.
  10. Flip the fish and broil for another 5 to 6 minutes on the second side, continuing to brush with marinade, until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Note

Ensure frozen fish steaks are completely thawed before marinating for even cooking.

If you prefer a thicker glaze, you can reduce the reserved marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes before brushing it on the fish during the last minute of broiling.

Watch the fish closely while broiling to prevent burning, as the sugars in the teriyaki sauce can caramelize quickly.

This dish pairs well with steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or a simple green salad.
