Ingredients

1 pound Alaska sablefish (black cod), cut into 4 fillets
12 ounces fresh broccoli florets
3 tbsp grapeseed other neutral-tasting oil, divided
3 tbsp coconut aminos, reduced sodium soy sauce or tamari
5 tbsp honey
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
4 cloves fresh garlic, grated
1 inch fresh ginger, grated
½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Coarse salt and pepper to taste
Cooked rice for serving (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spritz a baking sheet with oil or line with parchment. Set aside.
Whisk 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, coconut aminos, honey, toasted sesame oil, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl until well combined. Or shake all ingredients in a jar with a lid.
Add ⅓ cup of honey garlic sauce to the broccoli florets in a large bowl. Toss to coat. Place on a prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is caramelized.
Pat the fish dry. Season with coarse salt and cracked black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil. When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the sablefish with the skin side up. Cook about until seared and golden, about 4 minutes. Flip.
Add the remaining honey garlic sauce to the skillet. Cook about 5 minutes, until the sauce is reduced by about half and the fish is cooked to 145°F. Baste the cod with the sauce generously. Serve warm with a side of warm broccoli and rice, if desired.

Notes

TIPS:

This recipe works best when using thawed fish. Simply thaw overnight in the refrigerator or under cool water for 30 minutes on the day of prep.
Be sure to pat the fish dry before adding to the skillet. This will help create a good sear and also reduce splatter.
Adjust the cook time based on the thickness of the fish.
