Ingredients You'll Need:

• 1 lb frozen skin-off Rockfish fillet (or any firm white fish like Marlin)

• 2 cloves minced garlic (or garlic powder)
• 1 tsp pepper

• (Optional: A dash of soy sauce or leftover pokey)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Fish: Cut the frozen rockfish into bite-sized pieces.
2. Heat the Pan: Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the macadamia nut oil.
3. Sauté Aromatics: Add the garlic, pepper, and sugar. Stir quickly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
