Theeveedge I don't think you are supposed to caramelized with marinade, rather remove from marinade to cook fish. Also it's unclear what temperature to finish fish in the oven?

Can you elaborate on how to caramelize fish fillets? I tried this and it was delicious, but when I poured the marinade and the fillet into the hot pan it boiled in all the liquid and I felt that I was stewing the fish rather than caramelizing it. I ended up just letting it cook on each side for a bit and then transfering it into the oven, but it never caramelized in the pan. Should I have not added all the rest of the marinade until it went in the oven? I also substituted ripe plantains for the cherries and figs (I live in the tropics...) and added some sesame as a garnish in the oven. Lovely flavor.
