Teriyaki silver trevally fillets with sesame & zucchini
<p><strong>Serves 4</strong></p>
<p>There are good commercial teriyaki sauces and marinades available, or you can make your own by combining equal quantities of light soy sauce and mirin.</p>
<p>The name comes from the Japanese words “teri” meaning shine and “yaki” meaning grill, as meat and fish are brushed with the marinade while being grilled to give a shiny coating.</p>
<p>This recipe is a super easy way to marinate fish in less than 20 minutes but still packed full of flavour!</p>
<p><strong>Ingredients </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>¼ cup teriyaki sauce</li>
<li>2cm piece ginger, finely grated</li>
<li>1 large clove garlic, crushed</li>
<li>1½ teaspoons white sugar</li>
<li>1½ teaspoons sesame oil</li>
<li>2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted (see notes)</li>
<li>4 x 180g silver trevally fillets, skin off, bones removed</li>
<li>3 zucchini</li>
<li>1 tablespoon vegetable oil</li>
<li>3 green onions, thinly sliced diagonally</li>
<li>Steamed rice, to serve</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Directions</strong></p>
<p>1. Combine the teriyaki sauce, ginger, garlic, sugar, sesame oil and sesame seeds in a bowl. Add the fish, cover and marinate for 10-20 minutes.</p>
<p>2. Trim the ends off the zucchini and quarter lengthways. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a high heat and add the oil. Add the zucchini and cook for about 2 minutes, until they begin to colour. Remove to a warm plate.</p>
<p>3. Remove fillets from marinade, reserving marinade.</p>
<p>4. Return the pan to the heat, add the trevally fillets and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the edges have turned opaque. Turn the fillets, add the zucchini and the reserved marinade and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, adding a few teaspoons of water if the marinade begins to caramelise.</p>
<p>5. Arrange the zucchini on plates, top with fillets and garnish with green onion. Serve with steamed rice.</p>
<p><strong>Tips</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Toast sesame seeds in a dry frying pan for a couple of minutes, tossing gently to prevent them burning, or under a griller (but watch them closely).</li>
<li>Alternative species: Blue warehou, gemfish, ling, luderick, morwong, queenfish, silver perch, silver warehou, snapper.</li>
