Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the fish

    Rinse the yellowtail fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Marinade

  1. 2

    Make the marinade

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and honey until well combined.

  2. 3

    Marinate the fish

    Place the yellowtail fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the fish

    Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Grill or pan-sear the fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Serving

  1. 5

    Garnish and serve

    Transfer the cooked yellowtail to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
