Braised Fish with Black Bean Sauce Recipe

Recipe : Braised Fish with Black Bean Sauce

Ingredients :

3 tbsp salted black beans

2 tbsp oil

2 spring onions, chopped

2.5cm / 1 inch piece fresh root ginger, chopped

1 small red pepper, cored, deseeded and chopped

2 celery sticks, chopped

2 tbsp light soy sauce

2 tbsp dry sherry

4 x 150g / 5 oz cod or haddock cutlets

shredded spring onion, to garnish

Method :

Soak the black beans in warm water for 10 minutes to remove some of the saltiness. Drain thoroughly. Heat the oil in a preheated wok or deep frying pan. Add the spring onions, ginger, red pepper and celery and stir-fry for 1 minute. Stir in the soy sauce and sherry.

Place the fish on top of the vegetables and simmer for about 5-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until almost tender. Spoon over the black beans and cook for 2 minutes. Arrange the fish on a warmed serving dish and spoon the sauce over. Serve hot, garnished with the shredded spring onion.
