Teriyaki-Braised Alaska Black Cod with Colorful Vegetables

Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Servings: 4 

  • 4 Alaska Black Cod fillets, fresh, thawed or frozen
  • 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
  • 2 Tablespoons Riesling
  • 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 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Lemon wedges and toasted sesame seeds, for garnish 

Have all ingredients ready before beginning. Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Black Cod under cold water; pat dry with paper towel. 

Heat a heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of black cod with oil. Place black cod in heated skillet and cook, uncovered, about 3 to 4 minutes, until browned. Shake pan occasionally to keep fish from sticking. Add teriyaki sauce and cook 2 minutes more; sauce will boil up. 

Turn fillets over, add garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add wine, bell pepper, green onions and carrot. Cover pan tightly and reduce heat to medium. Continue to cook an additional 6 to 8 minutes for frozen black cod or 3 to 4 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout. Sprinkle with lemon juice. 

To serve, top fish with vegetables and sauce; garnish with lemon wedges and toasted sesame seeds, if desired. 

Chef’s Note: Serve with bowls of steamed jasmine rice on the side.
