  • Clean the fish filets and pat dry. Rub the filets with black pepper, to taste; set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, add the oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic and lightly brown, about 1 minute.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients for the sauce and heat over medium heat until begins to bubble and reduces slightly, about 5 - 7 minutes, then turn off the heat and set aside.
  • In a medium sized pan, combine the sugar and water for the caramel sauce. Heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves and starts to brown.
  • As soon as the sugar mixture turns a light brown, add the filets and sear the fish on each side for 1 - 2 minutes.
  • The sugar mixture should be darker in color and caramelized on the fish filets.
  • Remove the fish and add to a claypot (which is traditionally used but not necessary) or keep in the same pan.
  • Cover with the braising sauce then add the thai chilis and cover.
  • Cook on medium high heat for 5 - 7 minutes or until fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
  • Top with the green onions and serve with rice.
