FISH CHEEKS SATAY WITH SWEET SOY

Kecap Manis is a type of sweet soy sauce condiment similar to American ketchup… but of course not the same exactly either. It can be used in a broad number of sauces, marinades etc. and worth having in your home pantry.

1 habanero chile, stemmed and seeded

1 teaspoon kosher salt

2 Tablespoons kecap manis

Juice of 1 lime

black pepper, to taste

8) 1 inch x 3/4 inch cuts of Fish Cheeks

Put garlic, chile, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and mash into a bit of a paste with a wooden spoon.

~Stir in kecapmanis and lime juice.

~Add in the cheeks, and toss until well coated.
