Fish Teriyaki With Sweet And Sour Cucumbers Recipe

Ingredients

1/2 small seedless cucumber

1 small daikon radish

1 clove garlic

1/2 c. unseasoned rice vinegar

1 tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar

2 tbsp. granulated sugar

kosher salt

1/4 c. light brown sugar

1/4 c. low-sodium soy sauce

2 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce

1 1/2 tsp. cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon of water

4 skinless cod fillets

Steamed rice

Preparation

Step 1Put the cucumber, daikon, and garlic in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the rice vinegar with the granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt and heat just until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Pour the brine over the vegetables and gently squeeze the vegetables to soften them. Refrigerate until chilled, about 15 minutes.Step 2Meanwhile, preheat the broiler and position a rack 6 inches from the heat. In the same saucepan, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, and the dissolved cornstarch with the remaining 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar and bring to a boil, whisking until the glaze is thickened, about 2 minutes.Step 3Dip the cod in the teriyaki glaze and transfer to a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Broil the cod for 10 to 11 minutes, without turning, basting once or twice, until the fish is glazed and cooked through.Step 4Transfer the cod to plates. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sweet-and-sour cucumber salad to the plates. Drizzle any remaining teriyaki glaze over the fish and serve with rice.
