Servings: 2

Prep Time: ~15 mins | Cook Time: ~10mins

Ingredients

Fish Marinade:

• 1 flash-frozen lingcod portion (approx 1lb), thawed
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp dijon mustard
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Peach Salsa:

• 1 ripe peach, diced
• 1 ripe tomato, diced
• ½ ripe avocado, diced
• 1 shallot, finely diced
• Small handful of basil leaves, chopped
• Small splash red wine vinegar
• Generous squeeze lemon juice
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Pat your lingcod fillet dry and cut it into two portions.
2. Mix all ingredients for the marinade in a shallow bowl. Add the prepared lingcod pieces and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the diced peach, tomato, avocado, shallot, and basil leaves. Drizzle with a small splash of red wine vinegar and a squeeze of lemon juice, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed.
4. Place a frying pan over medium-high heat and add a small splash of oil. Once hot, carefully place your marinated lingcod fillets in the pan, skin side down. Apply gentle pressure as you cook the fillets for approximately 4 minutes until the skin begins to crisp. Flip and continue to cook on the other side until cooked through (around 3-4 minutes). Note that the honey in the marinade will begin to caramelize and cause the fillets to char slightly around the edges. This adds plenty of flavour!
5. Once your fish is done, serve it on a plate with a generous helping of peach salsa and your favourite summer sides.

Notes

• We chose to pan-fry our lingcod, but this recipe would also work well in the oven! 
• This recipe can be made with any of our flash-frozen fillets, whether it be white fish or salmon.
• Depending on the thickness of your lingcod fillet, you may choose to place a lid over the saucepan to help steam the fish after flipping.
