Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia)
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained if canned)
- 0.25 cup lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions, chopped (optional garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and season them on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fish fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the pineapple chunks, lime juice, honey, and soy sauce to the skillet. Stir the mixture and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet and stir continuously to thicken the sauce, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Return the cooked fish fillets to the skillet, spooning the pineapple lime sauce over the top. Allow the fish to warm in the sauce for 2 minutes.
Step 7
Serve the fish immediately, garnished with chopped green onions if desired. Pair with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
