It's excellent served as sushi
If raw fish is not to your taste...
baked or grilled is good (try to avoid frying)

Take a sheet of aluminum foil, make a bed of butter, either lemon grass or spring onion (depends on taste), fish on top, salt pepper, you can add a touch of white wine, close it up and into the oven. time depends on size of slice used, no more than 20 minutes.

or, on the Bar B Q, at a low heat, oil the rack so the fish will not stick, baste with butter and salt and pepper to taste. Grill until meat is still slightly pink at the center.
Serve with a Mango Chutney.

Another great merinade when BBQ'ing or grilling, just about any oil & vinegar salad dressing. Italian Herb, Golden Italian or sometimes, Russian or Catelina.
Just don't use a creamed dressing.

This is a dense meat fish and the taste similar to beef.
What ever you use as seasoning, keep it light and allow the flavor of the fish to come out.

Thanks so much Watersheild.
I was trying to avoid frying. I usually cook halibut fish.
so i'm "new" to this fish

I was thinking about marinating in teriyaki sauce?
What you think?

[watershield]

Might be a bit heavy unless you reduce it with some water or fruit juice
teriyaki / mango juice would be good

Although dense, this is a very delicate fish, if you need to use a marinade i would recommend an home made marinade consisting of 2 parts Olive Oil, 1 part Lemon Juice, Pepper and Light Soy Sauce

It is very nice steamed in brown paper with lemon grass, and served with fresh wilted spinach

I'm hungry now......

If I remember right, I recall Matt is a Chef, I just like to cook.
The best advise I can give when cooking fish...keep it light. Different fish have different flavors and you want to bring out that flavor as best you can.
I don't marinade fish as such, rather brush it on as the fish grills.
Sorry I don't have a lot of recipes. I use what ever is at hand and make it up as I go.

Thank you all for your sugestions, I went with the first suggestion by Watersheild.
It turned out great!!
Myself and my Daughter enjoyed it so much. I will have to try it again a different way, thinking the mango juice way.

Thanks again

[watershield]

Well thank you, I'm glad it worked out for you.

The cooking pouch works with all fish, chicken and vegetables.
Was just thinking, if you want the sauce to have a bit of a zing, after the cooking pour it into a sauce pan, add a touch of lemon juice and thicken with rice flour (works like corn starch but better flavor)
However, all things in moderation.
