Delicious teriyaki fish fillets with pineapple and ginger, offering a sweet, savory flavor perfect for quick weeknight dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Measure 2 tablespoons of juice from the pineapple can; mix with garlic, slivered ginger, green onion, 3 teaspoons of teriyaki sauce, and vinegar.
- Arrange fish fillets in a shallow dish.
- Pour the marinade over the fish and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- Arrange the marinated fish on a greased broiler rack and brush with the marinade.
- Broil the fish 6 inches from the heat for 5 to 6 minutes until cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider marinating the fish for longer than 10 minutes if your schedule allows. You can substitute sole fillets with other mild white fish like tilapia or cod. If fresh ginger is unavailable, use powdered ginger as a last resort, but reduce the amount since it’s more concentrated. Serve with steamed vegetables or over a bed of Grandma'S Brown Rice for a complete meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the teriyaki fish fillets with a side of sautéed greens or a refreshing cucumber salad for a balanced meal. This dish pairs beautifully with Hawaiian Teriyaki Sauce drizzled over the top. For a complete dinner, consider adding a portion of Tofu And Brown Rice to round out the flavors and textures.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover teriyaki fish fillets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the fish in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until heated through, to maintain its texture. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it may make the fish rubbery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fish fillets for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen fish fillets, but ensure they are fully thawed before marinating. Thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or place them in a sealed bag and submerge in cold water for quicker thawing. This ensures even cooking and better flavor absorption during marination.
What can I substitute for teriyaki sauce?
If you don't have teriyaki sauce, you can make a quick substitute by mixing soy sauce with a bit of honey or brown sugar, and adding sesame oil for richness. Adjust the sweetness to your taste, and this can mimic the flavor profile needed for this recipe.
Is this recipe suitable for a gluten-free diet?
To make this dish gluten-free, ensure you use gluten-free teriyaki sauce, as some commercial varieties contain soy sauce, which is made from wheat. You can also make your own using tamari, a gluten-free soy sauce alternative, for a delicious and safe meal.
