Fish Steak
A flavorful fish steak marinated in a tangy soy-orange sauce, then broiled, baked, or grilled. Perfect for seafood lovers seeking a versatile and delicious main course.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Marinate fish in sauce for 2 to 3 hours.
- Coat both sides of the fish with the marinade.
- Broil 3 inches from heat for 5 minutes.
- Turn the fish and broil for 5 more minutes.
- Alternatively, bake at 400°F for 30 minutes.
- Or, grill on foil over open flame.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more intense flavor, try marinating the fish overnight. If you don’t have soy sauce, tamari or coconut aminos can be good substitutes. You can also replace orange juice with pineapple juice for a different twist. Adding a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving can enhance the presentation and flavor. For added texture, consider serving with sautéed cabbage and carrots with ginger.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the fish steak alongside steamed jasmine rice or quinoa for a complete meal. A fresh side salad with a citrus vinaigrette complements the flavors well. Consider pairing with a light white wine or iced tea. For a unique twist, serve with a side of Corinne'S Cherry Delights for a sweet contrast that enhances the overall dining experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fish in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the fish in an oven preheated to 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as this can make the fish rubbery. If you have leftover marinade, it can be used as a dressing for salads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of fish for this recipe?
Yes, you can use any firm white fish like cod, halibut, or tilapia. Salmon also works well but may require a slightly shorter cooking time due to its fat content. Adjust the marinating time for different fish types to avoid overpowering their natural flavors.
What should I do if I don't have a broiler?
If you lack a broiler, baking is a great alternative. Preheat your oven to 400°F and bake the fish for about 30 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Grilling on foil over an open flame is another excellent option for achieving a nice char and smoky flavor.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Absolutely! To make this fish steak gluten-free, simply use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Ensure that any additional ingredients, like ketchup, are also gluten-free. This way, you can still enjoy the delicious flavors without worrying about gluten content.
