A basic recipe designed to build confidence and creativity, this works with most fish types and glazes.
Glazed Fish
(Makes 4 servings)
1 pound skinless, boneless fish fillets or steaks, 1 inch thick, fresh or thawed (salmon, sea bass, halibut, swordfish, tuna)
1/4 to 1/3 cup Asian, Maple-Balsamic, Orange-Horseradish, or other glaze of choice (see recipes below)
Spinach Saute (see recipe below)
1.
Rinse fish, pat dry with paper towels. Cut into 4 portions, if needed; set aside.
2.
Heat the broiler. Prepare desired glaze. Put fish on the greased, unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, 8 to 12 minutes. Carefully turn once, midway.

Brush glaze over the fish during the last 2 to 3 minutes.
