Ginger Pickerel Simmer
This pickerel is lightly pickled in soy sauce and vinegar, which preserve the fish and offer Philippine adobo-style taste notes. You can make it ahead and refrigerate it for up to two days - the pickled flavour will become more pronounced the longer the pickerel is refrigerated. Serve hot or cold with crusty bread or rice.

Suggested Recipes
-
1 cup (250 mL) red pearl onions, peeled and halved
2/3 cup (150 mL) rice or cider vinegar
1/4 cup (50 mL) soy sauce
2 tbsp (25 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
4 sprigs fresh thyme or coriander
6 thin slices gingerroot
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 whole cloves
4 bay leaves
1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper
2 lb (1 kg) pickerel fillets (skin on)
Preparation:
In large shallow Dutch oven or deep skillet, bring onions, vinegar, soy sauce, oil, thyme, ginger, garlic, cloves, bay leaves and pepper to boil.
Meanwhile, cut fish into 3-inch (8 cm) pieces. Add to pan; reduce heat, cover and simmer, basting fish occasionally, until fish flakes easily when tested, about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer fish to platter; cover and keep warm.
Bring sauce to boil; boil until reduced to about 1/2 cup (125 mL) and onions are softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour over fish before serving. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 2 days.)
