Steamed Fish with Soy Sauce and Ginger

Ingredients

• Fish fillets (4 (6-ounce) portions, such as tilapia, cod, or sea bass)
• Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
• Fresh ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Green onions (2, sliced (plus extra for garnish))
• Sesame oil (1 tablespoon)
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
• Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)

Instructions

1. Start by rinsing the fish fillets under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
2. Prepare a heatproof plate that will fit inside your steamer. Arrange the fish fillets on the plate.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, sliced green onions (reserve a few for garnish), sesame oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
4. Pour the soy sauce mixture evenly over the fish fillets, ensuring they are well coated to enhance the flavor during steaming.
5. Fill a steamer pot with water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
6. Once the water is boiling, carefully place the plate with the fish fillets into the steamer basket and cover it with a lid.
7. Steam the fish for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
8. Using caution, remove the plate from the steamer and serve the steamed fish hot, garnished with the reserved sliced green onions for a fresh touch.
9. For a complete meal, serve alongside fluffy steamed rice or sautéed seasonal vegetables.
