Ingredients
To make escabeche sweet and sour fish, you will need:
- 1 pound of fish fillets, preferably white fish such as cod, halibut, or tilapia
- 1/4 cup of white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of ketchup
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 1/4 cup of pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup of water
- 1/4 cup of diced bell peppers

Instructions
To make escabeche sweet and sour fish, begin by preparing the marinade. In a shallow dish, combine the vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add the fish fillets and turn them to coat. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Next, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade and add to the skillet. Fry the fish until it is golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a plate and set aside.
To the same skillet, add the brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, pineapple juice, and water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 3 minutes.
Add the bell peppers, onions, and parsley. Simmer for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Return the fish to the skillet and simmer for 2 minutes more. Serve the escabeche sweet and sour fish with steamed rice.
