ALASKA SABLEFISH MARINATED WITH ACACIA HONEY

 

Alaska Sablefish Marinated with Acacia Honey

This delicious recipe by Alaska Seafood is a good one to prepare 24hrs in advance to let the infusion of soy and honey flavors soak in.  Normally I like a lot of variety in my seafood quota; I generally try a receipt and start looking for the next one. We loved this recipe so much we served it 3 times in the span of one week. I guarantee you’ll love this recipe too. Be warned, if you have guests, they will want seconds.
I pan fried the Blackcod for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side beginning with the flesh down. The recipe calls for baking but either method works great.
