Servings: 4

Ingredients

Fish fillets (4, about 6 ounces each)
Ginger (2 inch piece, thinly sliced)
Garlic (2 cloves, thinly sliced)
Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
Sesame oil (1 tablespoon)
Green onions (2, thinly sliced)
Cilantro (a handful, chopped)
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Clean the fish fillets and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Place the fillets on a heatproof plate suitable for steaming.
Evenly distribute the ginger and garlic slices on top of the fish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and sesame oil. Drizzle this sauce evenly over the fish fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Set up your steamer. Once the water is boiling, carefully place the plate with the fish in the steamer. Cover and steam for about 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Once cooked, carefully remove the plate from the steamer. Avoid any escaping steam.
Garnish the steamed fish with the sliced green onions and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve this aromatic steamed fish hot, ideally with a side of steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
