Fishtek Tagalog


For this weekend I decided to do some fish dish hoping to start a healthier new year. I scanned my Yummy magazine collection and saw this very easy recipe from their September 2011 issue.

So I decided to try this recipe. Here goes:

1/8 cup soy sauce
juice of 4 calamansi
a dash of pepper to taste
5 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
300 grams white fish fillet
oil
1 red onion, sliced

1. Combine soy sauce, calamansi, pepper, and garlic. Marinate fish in this mixture for 30 minutes. (The fish absorbs a lot of flavor so don't overdo the marinating).
2. Heat a pan over medium heat then add a couple of swirls of oil, just enough to coat the bottom of the pan lightly. Once oil is hot, remove fish from marinade and fry, waiting until a touch of golden on each side and cooked through. Do not overcook. Set fish aside.
3. Fry onions. When onions reached your desired degree of softness, add remaining marinade to the pan and cook until everything bubbles up. Simmer rapidly for a minute or two. You want to make sure the marinade cooks thoroughly since it was in contact with the raw fish.
4. Once sauce is done, return fish to the pan and toss gently with the onions and sauce, just enough to warm fish. Serve immediately.

Amount spent for this recipe: 110 pesos.

Enjoy!
