This Baked Opakapaka dish is special to Chef Maka because a whole fish is always meant to be shared. A good time with loved ones over a full table of food is the best way to celebrate!
Ingredients
1 to 2 lb. whole opakapaka
salt
pepper
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup brown sugar
1 tbsp. garlic (minced)
1 tbsp. ginger (minced)
1 tsp. sesame oil
1 lemon (sliced)
1 small onion (sliced)
1 cup cilantro (divided)
2 tbsp. butter
½ cup green onions (chopped)
Instructions
Place two pieces of aluminum foil on the table. Score both sides of the opakapaka, several times diagonally from top to bottom, about one to two inches apart. Place fish on two pieces of foil and season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Add lemon slices and soy mixture on top of the fish. Then top with onions, ½ cup cilantro and butter.
Add another foil to cover and close tight so no air escapes. Place on a baking sheet and put into a 350°F oven for about 30 to 40 minutes. When done, place fish onto a platter and garnish with green onions and more cilantro.
