How to Make Sweet Black Pepper Fish
- In a large nonstick skillet, combine 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 tablespoon fish sauce.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely.
- Add 2 stalks lemongrass (finely chopped) or 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
- Cook for 1 1/2 minutes, or until the sauce slightly reduces.
- Add 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup thinly sliced onion, and 1 pound fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or snapper). Cook over medium-high heat for 7 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork, turning once halfway through.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon cold water until smooth. Stir into the skillet.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
