Ingredients:
- 1 pound of Greenland fish fillets (such as Arctic char or cod)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: pinch of chili flakes for a spicy kick
Instructions:
Prepare the Fish:
1- Start by rinsing the fish fillets under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels.
2- Slice the fillets into thin, even strips, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide. Try to keep the strips uniform in size for even drying.
Marinate the Fish:
1- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and chili flakes if using.
2- Place the fish strips into a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over them, ensuring all strips are coated evenly.
3- Seal the dish or bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the fish.
Dehydrate the Fish:
1- Preheat your dehydrator according to manufacturer instructions. If you don't have a dehydrator, you can use an oven set to its lowest temperature.
2- Arrange the marinated fish strips in a single layer on the dehydrator trays or on wire racks if using an oven.
3- Leave some space between each strip to allow for air circulation.
4- If using a dehydrator, follow the manufacturer's instructions for drying fish. Typically, this involves drying at around 145°F (63°C) for 4 to 8 hours, or until the fish strips are dry and slightly leathery but still pliable.
5- If using an oven, prop the oven door open slightly to allow moisture to escape. Dry the fish at the lowest temperature (usually around 150°F or 65°C) for about 4 to 6 hours, checking periodically until the fish is dry.
Cool and Store:
1- Once the fish jerky is dried to your desired consistency, remove it from the dehydrator or oven and let it cool completely.
2- Once cooled, transfer the fish jerky to an airtight container or resealable bags for storage.
3- Enjoy your homemade Greenland Fish Jerky as a nutritious snack or use it in various dishes for added flavor and protein!
