Steamed Fish with Aromatic Asian Flavors

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

1. Clean the fish fillets and pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. Place the fillets on a heatproof plate suitable for steaming.
3. Evenly distribute the ginger and garlic slices on top of the fish.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Once cooked, carefully remove the plate from the steamer. Avoid any escaping steam.
7. Garnish the steamed fish with the sliced green onions and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
8. Serve this aromatic steamed fish hot, ideally with a side of steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
