Method

Preparation of Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Kanpachi

    Rinse the Kanpachi fillet under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Fish

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over both sides of the fillet.

Marinating

  1. 3

    Make the Marinade

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

  2. 4

    Marinate the Fish

    Place the seasoned Kanpachi fillet in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Cook the Kanpachi

    Preheat a grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade and discard the marinade.

  2. 6

    Sear the Fish

    Place the fish on the grill or skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Transfer the cooked Kanpachi to a serving plate. Garnish with sliced green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

  2. 8

    Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
