Try this COOK IT FROZEN!® recipe for Steamed Alaska Pollock Tropicale

Steamed Alaska Pollock Tropicale

PREP TIME: 15 minutes     COOK TIME: 10 minutes     SERVINGS: 4

Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons black bean garlic sauce
2 Tablespoons Riesling or sherry
1 Tablespoon sesame oil
1 Tablespoon fresh ginger slivers
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced jalapeño
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks OR 2 cans (8 oz. each)
  pineapple tidbits or tropical fruit, drained
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
1 bunch (5 to 7) green onions
4 Alaska Pollock fillets (6 to 8 oz. each), fresh, thawed or frozen
2 teaspoons toasted or black sesame seeds


Blend all ingredients except green onions, Alaska Pollock and sesame seeds in a bowl.

Arrange green onions in a layer on the bottom of a 9-inch glass or heat-resistant pie plate. Rinse any ice glaze from frozen fish fillets under cold water; pat dry with paper towel. Place fillets over green onions; pour pineapple marinade over fillets.

Set a metal steamer rack into a deep 10- to 12-inch pot. Add water to fill the pot to a depth of 1 inch. Place the pie plate onto the streamer rack. Cover the pot loosely with foil and bring the water to a boil. Steam for 6 to 8 minutes for frozen Alaska Pollock or 4 to 5 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout. Garnish with sesame seeds.
