Preparazione

1. 1

   Prep aromatics: Peel and mince the garlic. Lightly smash the cloves and remove the skin. Chop off the hard root ends. Smash again and finely mince the cloves.

2. 2

   Marinate fish: In a small bowl, combine the garlic salt, sugar, white pepper, cornstarch and cooking wine. Mix to thoroughly combine.

3. 3

   Make dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and chili sauce, if using.

4. 4

   Prep fish: Place the cod fillets on a sheet of paper towel and use it to pat the fish dry. Soak up as much moisture as you can, which will help the seasonings penetrate the fish.

5. 5

   Cook fish: Add oil to the marinaded cod. This helps remove some of the fishiness.

6. 6

   Blanch broccoli: Boil 4 cups of water in a large pot over high heat. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of the oil and salt. When water comes to a boil, add broccoli and lower the heat to medium.

7. 7

   Plate cod & broccoli: Plate the cooked cod with the broccoli. Drizzle with finishing oil.
