Baked Pompano

A delicious baked pompano fish dish infused with flavorful sauces and served over napa cabbage.

Ingredients

  • soy sauce (1 cup)
  • rice cooking wine (0.5 cup)
  • olive oil (5 tablespoons)
  • hoisin sauce (2 teaspoons)
  • fish sauce (2 teaspoons)
  • oyster sauce (2 teaspoons)
  • lime (1 )
  • shallot (1 )
  • peeled fresh ginger (1 )
  • whole pompano fish (1 )
  • dried dill (1 teaspoon)
  • salt (0 )
  • ground black pepper (0 )
  • napa cabbage leaves (2 cups)

Instructions

  1. Whisk soy sauce, rice wine, 1 tablespoon olive oil, hoisin sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and juice of 1/2 lime together in a bowl.
  2. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir shallot and ginger until starting to brown, about 2 minutes. Pour in soy sauce mixture; simmer until slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. Score both sides of the pompano in a crosshatch pattern. Pat dry with a paper towel. Season both sides and inside of the pompano with dill, salt, and pepper. Slice remaining 1/2 of the lime and arrange slices inside. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over pompano; rub over both sides.
  4. Layer cabbage leaves in the bottom of a large baking dish; place pompano on top. Pour soy sauce mixture over pompano. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil. Let marinate as the oven preheats.
  5. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  6. Bake pompano in the preheated oven until fragrant, about 20 minutes. Remove aluminum foil; continue baking until pompano flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes more.
  7. Peel back skin and lift pompano flesh off the bones using a fork. Transfer to a serving plate.
