INGREDIENTS
2 lbs. sheepshead fillets
1 lime
Black pepper
Salt
Butter
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 Tablespoons honey
1/2 cup water
3 cloves of garlic, minced
DIRECTIONS
The first preparation you will do is start making your sweet teriyaki sauce. This process will happen on your stove top. In the pot off the stove, add your water, low sodium soy sauce and sugar and mix it all together. Place the stove top burner on medium heat and place the pot with your mixed ingredients on it.
Begin stirring with the heat on and add your honey and minced garlic. Continue to stir until it reaches a boil.
Once it reaches a boil reduce the temperature on the stove to a low heat and allow for your sauce to reach a simmer. Continue to stir every now and then to ensure it does not burn.
Cook for about 10 minutes until it reduces down. It is ready for your fish.
Get a baking sheet and make an aluminum foil bowl to hold the fish. Coat the foil bowl with butter to help ensure no sticking at the end.
Place the fillets onto a baking sheet in an aluminum foil bowl. Cut your lime in half and squeeze all the juice over the fillets. Salt and pepper both sides of the fillets.
Cover the fillets with your teriyaki sauce while it is still warm. Cover the aluminum foil bowl to ensure the fillets will maintain their moisture.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and place the fillets in for cooking.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until fish is cooked.
Remove from oven and serve.
This recipe is one the family will love. It is a good fillet to place on a bed of white rice. Drizzle warm teriyaki sauce over it to complete this dish.
