For the Fish
- 1 pound sole fillet(s)
- 6 tablespoons corn starch or cassava flour

- 6 tablespoons water
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil or grapeseed oil
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium tamari
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 8 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 heaping tablespoons ginger, chopped
- 2 scallions, chopped (white and light green parts only)
Instructions
- Step 1: First, let's prepare the sauce. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and scallion. Cook for 1 minute, stirring often. Add the remaining water, tamari, and sugar to the pan. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced slightly and smells quite fragrant. Set aside.
- Step 2: Rinse and pat the fish fillets dry. Spread the starch on a plate and season lightly with salt and pepper. Coat the fillets on both sides in the starch and pat off any excess. Transfer to a plate.
- Step 3: Heat a thin layer of cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook for 3 minutes per side, or until flaky with crispy edges.
- Serve: Transfer the fish onto plates and drizzle generously with the sauce immediately before serving. Enjoy. Note: Any extra sauce can be refrigerated up to 4 days.
