I'm here to Cure Your Hatred of Fish (or Make You Love it More)

Actually...I've cured my own. I hope this recipe helps any of you fellow "fish haters," too. As a side note, I am really learning what it means to cook...it's all about experimentation, taking inspiration all around you and making it your own. Cooking is so much more creative than baking. /end side note.

I did this with tilapia, but I am convinced that it will work on almost any kind of fish. I'm trying it on salmon next.

Danielle's Ginger Soy "I Hate Fish" Miracle Glaze
Ingredients:
3 T  Honey
1 T Soy
1 T Fresh Ginger
2  Fish Filets

Supplies:
Shallow baking dish (you want something that fits the fish well...I used a pie plate)
Aluminum foil
Small bowl
Fork
Grater
Pastry Brush (optional)

Steps:

1. Heat oven to 375.
   
2. Rinse fish in cold water and pat dry (it needs to be dry so the glaze will stick). Set aside.
   
3. Peel the ginger with a veggie peeler and run it over a microplane grater (a garlic press works, too)*
   
4. In small bowl, combine honey, soy and ginger. Mix with a fork.
   
5. Spray pan with nonstick spray and place the fish in.
6. Brush a little bit of glaze over each fish (just so it covers it a bit) and cover pan with foil.
7. Bake for 5- minutes.
8. Remove foil and turn oven up to 400.
9. Brush on the rest of the glaze (it's ok if it falls off into the pan).
10. Bake for about 5 minutes more.
11. Love fish.

Suggestion:
Make some extra glaze and pour it over steamed broccoli on the side. Wow.


*if you stick a fork in the ginger and run it back and forth over the grater, you will protect your fingers.
