Baked Teriyaki Halibut with Bok Choy

Shopping at Whole Foods, I noticed the halibut in their fish counter looked particularly enticing. The clerk told me it had just arrived. The price tag said “on sale” so I snatched a piece. It’s still a pricey fish, even on sale, so why would I compromise the natural flavors by marinating such a lovely specimen? Wouldn’t I simply want to savor the flavor with just a bit of acidity and dill? Perhaps…but I have a head of bok choy and partial bottle of Soy Vay Teriyaki Island marinade begging to be released from refrigerated bondage.

This marinade is not as intense as many bottled Asian brands so I knew it wouldn’t totally obliterate the flavor. I also like the plethora of sesame seeds in the time-saving mix. I always prefer homemade, however, and a great substitute would be freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce and sesame or peanut oil.

Recipe: Baked Teriyaki Halibut with Bok Choy

Ingredients

  • 1 pound piece halibut fillet (my piece was 1-inch thick)
  • 3-4 tablespoons your favorite Asian marinade (I used Soy Vay Veri Teriyaki)
  • 1 head bok choy, cut into 1-inch pieces, greens leaves separated from stem
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut or sesame oil
  • 1-2 teaspoons fresh chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Marinate fish, flesh-side down, 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 450˚.
  3. Place marinated fish on a lightly oiled, foil-lined baking sheet, spooning excess marinade over fish. Bake on middle rack of oven about 10-12 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
  4. While fish is baking, heat peanut oil over medium-high heat. Cook white stem pieces with a pinch of kosher salt about 2 minutes or until just beginning to brown. Add remaining greens and cook until greens are just limp. Serve baked fish with greens.

Marinate Time: 30 minutes

Active Time: 15 minutes

Bake Time: 10-12 minutes

Number of servings (yield): 2-3 servings
