DIRECTIONS

ASIAN CUCUMBER SALAD:

  1. In a bowl, combine cucumbers, carrots, and cabbage.  In a smaller bowl, whisk together the ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce and sriracha until the sugar is dissolved.
  2.  Pour dressing over vegetables; sprinkle with sesame seeds and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate until serving, up to 8 hours.

ALASKA SABLEFISH/MARINADE:

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the sake, mirin, miso, brown sugar, soy sauce and ginger until smooth and blended.  Place Alaska sablefish fillets and marinade in a large zip-top bag; squeeze out air and seal.  Place the bag in a shallow bowl or baking dish.  Refrigerate at least 12 hours or up to 72 hours, turning the bag over occasionally to coat all sides.  Remove fish from marinade; drain thoroughly.
  2. Turn oven on to broil setting.  Place fish in an oven-proof pan.  Arrange oven rack so that top of fish is 4 to 5 inches from broiler heat element.  Broil 4 to 5 minutes, or until top of fish is caramelized and dark brown; remove and allow fish to rest 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. To serve, portion about 2 cups cucumber salad on each plate.  Top sablefish with 1/2 tablespoon green onion.
