1/2 cup minced green onion

1/4 cup each soy sauce and dry sherry

1 large clove garlic, minced or pressed

1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

6 (4 oz each) sablefish fillets

1 tablespoon macadamia nut oil or extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon sesame oil (hot or mild)

small boiled potatoes

• In a bowl, mix onion, soy sauce, sherry, garlic, and ginger. Add fish, turning to coat all sides; cover and chill 1 hour or as long as 1 1/2 hours; turn occasionally.


• Place a 10  to 12 inch frying pan on high heat. When pan is hot, add salad oil. Lift fish from marinade, draining; reserve marinade. Add fish to hot pan and cook, uncovered, to brown on both sides (takes about 5 minutes total). Use a wide spatula to turn fish carefully.
