Ginger Glazed Catfish
In a shallow bowl or plastic zip-top bag, mix together the marinade (ginger, fish sauce, garlic powder, black pepper). Add fish and turn pieces to coat well. Set aside to marinate 20 minutes (or refrigerate overnight).
Add sugar to a heavy saucepan or skillet and place over medium heat. Cook, swirling the pan occasionally, to melt the sugar. Watch carefully to prevent scorching. When it melts into a deep brown, bubbling liquid (like dark maple syrup), add the fish to the sugar. Sear the fish until it is lightly golden, about 2 minutes each side.
Reduce the heat to low. Drizzle in the coconut water and stir it gently around the fish to dissolve any hard sugar. Simmer until the fish is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes more.
Garnish with green onion.
