Wasabi-Glazed Whitefish

Wasabi, the head-clearing green condiment traditionally served with sushi, adds subtle fire to this fish dish. Look for wasabi powder or paste in Japanese markets and large supermarkets.

Directions
1.
Combine soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of the seasme oil, 1/4 teaspoon of the sugar, and the wasabi powder. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of fish with soy mixture.
2.
Lightly grease the rack of a gas grill. Preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place fish on the grill rack directly over heat, tucking under any thin edges. Cover and grill for 8 to 12 minutes or until fish just flakes easily when tested with a fork, gently turning once halfway through grilling.
3.
Meanwhile, for slaw, in a medium bowl combine the zucchini, radishes, pea pods, and chives. Stir together vinegar, the remaining sesame oil, and the remaining sugar. Drizzle over the zucchini mixture; toss to coat. Serve the fish with slaw. Makes 4 servings.

To cook fish on a charcoal grill,
grill fish directly over medium coals for 8 to 12 minutes or until fish just flakes easily when tested with a fork, gently turning once halfway through grilling. Serve as above.
