Sablefish with Ginger-Lime Sauce

Crispy sablefish fillets are pan-seared to golden perfection and topped with tender garlic and crisp cucumber strands. A bright, zesty ginger-lime dipping sauce ties it all together for a fresh, flavorful finish. Serves four people and takes about 30 minutes to make.

Ingredients

1 lb. Alaska sablefish fillet, skin-on, cut into 4 piecesShop
1⁄2 hothouse cucumber, unpeeled
1⁄4 cup vegetable or other neutral oil
6 small cloves garlic, uncut
2-4 Thai bird chilis to taste, chopped
1 clove garlic minced
2 tablespoons minced ginger
¼ cup lime juice
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Make dipping sauce: Place the garlic, chiles, sugar and ginger in a mortar and pound into a paste. Transfer to a small mixing bowl and add the fish sauce and lime juice. Add cilantro. Set aside 15 minutes before serving. Seed cucumber and cut into long, thin strips about the thickness of angel hair pasta. Add cucumber slices to Ginger-Lime Dipping Sauce and set aside.
Prepare fish: Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Cook fillets until golden and just done, 2 to 3 minutes per side depending on the thickness. Halfway into the cooking, add whole garlic cloves and cook until soft. Remove fillets and garlic and drain on paper towels.
To serve: Arrange fillet on serving plate. Scatter cooked garlic cloves on top. Remove cucumbers from Dipping Sauce and neatly place on fillet. Drizzle some sauce over top and serve the remainder on the side.
