Ingredients
- 2 (6-ounce) packs of sablefish
- 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 medium mango (not too ripe, not too green), diced small
- 1 small avocado, diced
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1-2 teaspoons good olive oil
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
- 3 tablespoons mint, chopped
- 4 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Salt, pepper and chili powder to taste
Instructions
1. Mix all ingredients together. Taste and adjust seasonings.
2. Chill in the refrigerator for a bit.
3. To make the fish, first preheat the oven to 400˚F.
4. Whisk together melted butter and ½ the lemon juiced.
5. Arrange your sablefish skin side down in a large baking dish lined with parchment paper.
6. Brush lemon butter mixture evenly over the fillets and season with salt and pepper.
7. Bake for 15 minutes. Check fillets — fish should easily flake with a fork.
8. Now turn the oven to broil and brown the top of the sablefish for about 5 more minutes.
