Moms Korean Whole Fish Recipes

Steps:

• Season flour with salt and pepper. Dredge fish in seasoned flour. Heat 1/8-1/4" oil in pan large enough to hold fish over medium heat. Toss in ginger & garlic; 20-30 seconds later, put in the fish. Cook fish 6-8 min. per side, til browned. Drain off any unwanted fat; then add green onions, oyster sauce, and 1/2-3/4 c water to make sauce. Cover tightly and steam/braise 5 minutes, or until fish flakes with a fork. Make a slurry with cornstarch and a little water, and mix into the sauce. Heat until sauce thickens. Add more water if necessary (you should have about 1 c sauce). Serve fish on platter; use a serving spoon to scoop fish off bones and to serve sauce, then flip fish over and serve the other side.

Steps:

• 1) Preheat the oven to 375°F Rinse fish under cold water, and then dry with some paper towels. Sprinkle a bit of canola oil on a baking sheet, and set the fish on top. Make four diagonal slashes on each side of the fish. Sprinkle the salt on the fish. Place baking sheet in the oven and cook for about 8 minutes.
• 2) Meanwhile, whisk together the rest of the ingredients for the sauce.
• 3) Remove the baking sheet with the fish and turn the oven to 425 degrees. Brush the sauce on to both sides of the fish. Return the fish to the oven, and cook for about 3 minutes.
• 4) Remove the baking sheet with the fish. Turn on the broiler. Slide the fish under the broiler and cook for about 1 minute for each side. The skin should get crisp and slightly blacken.
