Restaurant-Quality at Home: Steamed Fish with Ginger and Scallion

The Power of Steaming

Steaming is the perfect way to cook fish! Unlike other methods, it gently cooks the fish

Choosing the Right Fish

This recipe is versatile!  Use mild-flavored white fish like cod, sea bass, snapper, or halibut.

Flavorful Aromatics: Ginger and Scallion

Ginger and scallions are the stars of the show! Ginger adds a warm, slightly spicy kick, while scallions bring a fresh, oniony flavor. 

Simple Seasoning: Bringing Out the Best

A light and flavorful sauce elevates the dish.  Combine soy sauce, a touch of sweetness (oyster sauce or sugar), rice wine vinegar for acidity, and sesame oil for a nutty aroma. 

Steaming Techniques: Easy at Home

Steaming doesn't require fancy equipment!  Use a bamboo steamer basket placed over a pot of boiling water. 

The Perfect Steam: Time and Tip

Steaming time depends on the thickness of your fish fillet.  Start with 8-10 minutes for a thin fillet and adjust accordingly. 

Plating and Presentation: Restaurant-Worthy Finish

Presentation matters! Plate your steamed fish on a bed of scallions and ginger. Drizzle with the prepared sauce and garnish with extra scallions for a restaurant-worthy finish.
