Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup sake
2 tablespoons mirin, honey, or sugar
1 cup Dashi (page 162) or chicken stock, preferably homemade (page 160)
1/4 cup good-quality soy sauce
5 or 6 thin slices peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon peeled and finely shredded fresh ginger or 1/2 cup minced scallion, green part only, or both, for garnish
1 1/2 to 2 pounds halibut fillets or steaks (see headnote)

Steps:

  • Combine the sake, mirin, dashi, soy sauce, and sliced ginger in a skillet or saucepan with a lid; it should be just wide enough to hold the fish. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, if you are using shredded ginger, soak it in cold water to cover.
  • After the liquids have boiled for 1 minute, reduce the heat to medium and gently add the fish, skin side down. Cover and adjust the heat so the mixture simmers steadily. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the point of a thin-bladed knife meets little resistance when inserted into the thickest part of the fillet.
  • Carefully remove the fish from the poaching liquid. Drain the ginger if you're using it and garnish the fish. Pass the sauce separately to spoon over the fish and white rice.

This recipe was a waste of time and ingredients. The fish was bland and the sauce was tasteless.

The sauce was too thin for my liking. I would recommend adding a cornstarch slurry to thicken it up.

I followed the recipe exactly and the fish was overcooked. I would recommend cooking it for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less soy sauce.

I'm not a fan of sake, so I used white wine instead. It still turned out great.

I added some vegetables to the sauce and it turned out great. This dish is a great way to get your veggies in.

I've made this dish several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The halibut is always moist and flavorful, and the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and savory.
