Peking Fish

Peking Fish
Recipe Tip
Be Bold with Broccoli
Vegetables like broccoli offer a host of nutrients including vitamins A, C and folate. Be sure to get at least 3 to 5 servings of veggies daily.
Substitution
Monkfish or sea bass fillets can be substituted for the halibut.
Success
The low-fat technique of braise-deglazing is basically stir-frying with very little cooking oil. Use a small amount of water or broth to prevent sticking and to encourage browning of food.

A really great sauce
The Hoisin sauce really comes out here, but without being thick or heavy, or too sweet. The dish was great overall, but I am really excited about the sauce--I think it would be great with chicken and lean pork as well! I might cut down a hair on the ginger, however.
