How To Make Sweet and Sour Asian Fish Recipe

A savory and tangy dish made with crispy fish fillets and a delicious sweet and sour sauce.

Preparation: 20 minutes

Cooking: 20 minutes

Total: 40 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

4 fish fillets (salmon or cod)
1 cup cornstarch
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 onion, sliced
1 cup pineapple chunks (canned or fresh)
1 cup water
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water

Instructions

In a shallow bowl, mix together cornstarch, salt, and black pepper.
Coat each fish fillet evenly with the cornstarch mixture.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil.
Fry fish fillets until golden brown and crispy, about 5-6 minutes on each side. Place on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
In the same frying pan, sauté sliced bell peppers and onions until tender, about 2-3 minutes.
Add pineapple chunks, water, white vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, and soy sauce to the pan. Bring to a boil.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp of cornstarch with 2 tbsp of water until smooth. Add to the pan and stir until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the fish fillets to the pan and coat with the sweet and sour sauce.
Serve hot with rice or noodles.
