Teriyaki-Braised Alaska Black Cod with Colorful Vegetables

25 Minutes Serves 4 Wild-Caught Alaska Moderate

“Alaska Black Cod braised in teriyaki with garden vegetables — one pan, twenty-five minutes, restaurant quality.”

Black Cod absorbs a teriyaki braise like no other fish — its natural fat content carries the sauce deep into the flesh while keeping it impossibly moist. The vegetables cook right in the pan, picking up the caramelised glaze. Serve with steamed jasmine rice to catch every drop of sauce.

Ingredients
  • 4 fillets Alaska Black Cod, fresh, thawed or frozen
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup Teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tsp Fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp Riesling wine
  • 1 small Red bell pepper, cut in thin strips
  • 4 Green onions, cut in 3-inch pieces
  • 1 large Carrot, cut in julienne matchstick pieces
  • 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
  • to garnish Lemon wedges and toasted sesame seeds
Method
  1. 01
    Prepare the fish

    Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Black Cod under cold water. Pat completely dry with paper towel. Have all ingredients prepped and ready before starting.

  2. 02
    Sear the fish

    Heat a heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of Black Cod with oil. Place in heated skillet and cook uncovered 3-4 minutes until browned. Shake pan occasionally to prevent sticking.

  3. 03
    Add teriyaki

    Add teriyaki sauce and cook 2 minutes more — the sauce will boil up. Turn fillets over, add garlic and cook a further 2 minutes.

  4. 04
    Add vegetables

    Add wine, bell pepper, green onions and carrot. Cover pan tightly and reduce heat to medium.

  5. 05
    Braise

    Cook an additional 6-8 minutes for frozen Black Cod or 3-4 minutes for fresh or thawed fish. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.

  6. 06
    Finish and serve

    Sprinkle with lemon juice. Top fish with vegetables and sauce. Garnish with lemon wedges and toasted sesame seeds. Serve with steamed jasmine rice.
