Sweet Black Pepper Fish
For most of its flavor, this Vietnamese classic relies on sugar and pepper, which everyone has on hand. The sugar is used to make a slightly bitter caramel sauce, and the results are spectacular.
1/2 cup water, divided 3 tablespoons sugar 2 1/2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce 3 tablespoons minced peeled fresh lemongrass 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 cup coarsely chopped green onions 4 (6-ounce) halibut fillets 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Combine 1/4 cup water, sugar, and fish sauce in a large nonstick skillet; bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add lemongrass, garlic, and pepper. Cook 1 1/2 minutes or until slightly reduced. Add 1/4 cup water, onions, and fish, and cook over medium-high heat 7 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning once. Sprinkle with cilantro.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 fillet and 2 tablespoons sauce)
