Description

A Pinoy dish of milkfish, Philippine's national fish, with 2 main recipe ingredients, soy sauce and calamansi. Best served over steamed rice.

Ingredients

10 calamansi fruits, juiced
¼ cup light soy sauce
1 pound boneless milkfish, cut into 4 pieces
¼ cup vegetable oil, divided
1 onion, cut into rings
water, or as needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1. Whisk calamansi juice and soy sauce together in a shallow bowl. Add milkfish and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion slices until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer onion slices to a plate.
3. Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in the same skillet. Remove milkfish from the marinade, reserving marinade, and fry until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Pour in reserved marinade and bring to a simmer. Adjust sauce consistency with water. Season with salt and pepper. Serve milkfish and sauce with the sauteed onion.
