Marinate the sablefish
Rinse the fish and cut into 6 equal portions.
Marinate the black cod for 24-72 hours, covered, in the refrigerator.
Prepare the sweet pepper and onion vinaigrette
Finely slice or dice the sweet onion, peppers, and daikon. You can also shred the daikon for a finer consistency.
Finely chop the cilantro and slice the green onion. Mince the ginger.
Heat the olive oil over medium low heat and briefly sauté the sweet onion, peppers, daikon, and ginger, until soft.
Remove from the heat and place in a bowl. Combine with the remaining vinaigrette ingredients.
Cover and reserve until needed.
Smoking the Black Cod
Remove the fish from the marinade and preheat your grill or smoker to 300 degrees, set up for indirect heat.
Cook the cod at 300 degrees, indirect, until done. This typically takes about 20 minutes. The internal temperature of the fish should be about 140-150 degrees.
Serve the fish over rice and topped with the sweet pepper and onion vinaigrette.
