How to make Sunday Favorite Fish

Marinating the Fish

  1. Step 1

    Combine all the marinade ingredients to form a paste and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Using a knife, make small incisions on both sides of the fish, being careful not to cut too deep. This allows the spices to penetrate the fish.

  3. Step 3

    Rub the fish with the paste using clean hands, ensuring that you are generous with it and cover the entire fish.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer the fish into a container or casserole and allow it to sit in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.

Baking the Fish

  1. Step 1

    Place the fish on a baking tray and then into a preheated oven at 180 degrees.

  2. Step 2

    Bake for 45 minutes to an hour or until it is ready.

Preparing the Sauce

  1. Step 1

    In a small pot, combine water, vinegar, brown sugar, salt, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.

  2. Step 2

    Allow this to simmer on medium heat for 6-10 minutes.
