Fishtek Tagalog


Filipinos love soy-based dishes - adobo and the local bistek. Who would not? It's simple, easy, and flavorful. A quick dish best served with lots of white rice!

This recipe is very easy and uses the healthier option of fish fillet instead of beef. I saw this in the September 2011 issue of Yummy magazine and remembered my last pack of cream dory fillet in the freezer.

Fishtek Tagalog
Yummy Magazine September 2011

  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • juice of 6 to 10 calamansi (about 2 tbsps)
  • black pepper, to taste
  • 5 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
  • 500 grams cream dory fillet
  • olive oil
  • 3 onions, sliced into half moons

Cut fish fillet into 4 to 5 slices.

Combine soy sauce, calamansi, pepper and garlic.

Marinate fish in the soy sauce mixture. Leave in for about 20-30 minutes. Do not overmarinate.

Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add olive oil.

Remove fish from marinade and fry in pan. Fry till golden brown or fish is cooked through.

Set fish aside in a plate.

Add few drops of olive oil and fry the onions until caramelized.

When onions have caramelized, pour the marinade to the pan and simmer.

Once sauce simmers, return fish to pan and toss with the onions. Turn off heat.

Serve hot.
