Notes
Buy the freshest fish you can afford. Quality matters and is key to making this dish gourmet level.Honey or even brown sugar is a fine substitute to maple syrup. The key is you want a good sweetener to get great caramelization from the glazing.This recipe also works with trout, particularly steelhead.If you don’t want to make your own marinade, use a quality store-bought paste like a Walkerswood or Grace branded one.Cast iron is perfect for this, but if you don’t have one, make sure your pan is oven-proof.
