Step 1 Prepare the sablefish
Have all ingredients ready before beginning. Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska sablefish under cold water; pat dry with a paper towel. Brush both sides of sablefish with oil.
-
Step 2 Braise sablefish and add sauce
Heat a heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place sablefish in skillet and cook, uncovered, about 3-4 minutes, until browned. Shake pan occasionally to keep fish from sticking. Add teriyaki sauce and cook 2 minutes more; sauce will boil up.
-
Step 3 Add vegetables to pan
Turn fillets over, add garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add wine, bell pepper, green onions and carrot. Cover pan tightly and reduce heat to medium. Continue to cook an additional 6-8 minutes for frozen or 3-4 minutes for fresh/thawed. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout. Sprinkle with lemon juice.

Step 4 Plate and serve
Divide sablefish among 4 plates. Top fish with vegetables and sauce; garnish with lemon wedges and toasted sesame seeds. Serve with bowls of steamed jasmine rice on the side.
