I did a simple marinade of soy sauce and then added some grated ginger. I keep extra knobs of it in the freezer and use a Microplane zester or grater to shave it over the top – works great!

I also grated some garlic over this fish, but forgot to photograph that. Next I turned the fish in the marinade so that both sides were coated in soy, ginger and garlic and let it sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. (Remember, fish doesn’t need long to marinate!)

Finally, I sprinkled it liberally with sesame seeds and then put it seed side down in a non stick skillet and coated the other side with sesame seeds. Partly through the cooking I realized that I should have used a little oil even though the pan was nonstick. So if you do this dish at home, use some canola oil.

I seared the fish on each side and then let it continue to cook, covered (I think this helped keep it moist) for about 3 minutes per side. You want to keep this fish medium to medium rare, as you see in this photo.
