Ingredients

    2 6-oz Pacific Halibut steaks
    6 oz good spring water
    3 tbsp soy sauce
    6 oz sake
    3 tbs mirin
    1 tbs sugar
    1 inch of ginger, thinly sliced
    1 tbsp garlic, minced


Directions

In a medium pot, bring water, sake, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar to a boil.

Add ginger, onions, and halibut.

Place a paper towel or parchment paper over the fish, cover the pot with a lid, and bring back to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and gently simmer until translucent and flaky, approximately 5 minutes.

Remove fish and continue to cook until the simmering sauce is reduced by half.

Spoon some of the sauce over the fish and serve the remainder on the side.
