How to Make Baked Fish With Toasted Sesame Seeds
- In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, and black pepper.
- Arrange the fish fillets in a single layer in a baking dish.
- Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, turning the fillets once halfway through.
- Preheat your broiler to high.
- Remove the fillets from the marinade, reserving the marinade.
- Pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan.
- Bring the marinade to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Set aside half of the simmered marinade for serving.
- Place the fish fillets on a lightly greased wire rack set inside a shallow roasting pan. This allows for even cooking and crispier skin.
- Broil the fillets 6 inches from the heat source for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Baste the fillets with the remaining marinade halfway through cooking.
- Transfer the cooked fish to a serving platter.
- Drizzle the reserved marinade over the fish and sprinkle generously with toasted sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
