Pollock in a Japanese Marinade

Pollock is sometimes seen as a cheaper, but inferior alternative to cod. Wel, cheaper it certainly is, but inferior, it need not be at all! A simple way to give frozen pollock a nice taste is to marinate quickly it after thawing it. Excellent for that is the standard Japanese all-purpose marinade. For that you'll need the following ingredients:

• 2 parts of soy sauce
• 2 parts of mirin (or substitute with sweet white wine)
• 1 parts of Japanese Vinegar (or use 1/2 part regular vinegar mixed with 1/2 part water, as Japanese vinegar is half the concentration of western one)
• Dried garlic powder (or fresh garlic, but that' more work and more expensive, and doesn't make the taste all that better)

Just mix all these ingredients, and roll the thawed pollock fillets though the marinade before baking them. If you like, you can also roll the marinated filets though potato starch or flour to give a more bready taste if you like that. But don't use corn starch, it will burn and give a bad taste.
