Pour the marinade mixture over the fish.
4
Turn the fish over to coat both sides thoroughly with the marinade.

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.
