Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 3/4 lbs red snapper, skin on, cut into 2 1/4 inch pieces (or other mild white fish, Tracy used catfish, without skin)
1 onion, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 cup dark soy sauce
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup fish sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine soy sauce, brown sugar and fish sauce, set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoons oil in skillet over high heat. When hot, cook fish skin side down 2 minutes, or until lightly browned. Turn and cook one minute, then remove from skillet.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 1/2 Tbsp oil. Add onion, cook 2 minutes or until wilted and just beginning to brown. Add garlic, cook one minute. Add soy sauce mixture, stir well. Return fish to skillet and cook 2-3 minutes, or until sauce is dark and syrupy. Top with lime juice and black pepper.
  • Serve with steamed rice and vegetables (sauteed greens are good here!).
