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
- Start by rinsing the fish fillets under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Prepare a heatproof plate that will fit inside your steamer. Arrange the fish fillets on the plate.
- 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.
- Pour the soy sauce mixture evenly over the fish fillets, ensuring they are well coated to enhance the flavor during steaming.
- Fill a steamer pot with water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once the water is boiling, carefully place the plate with the fish fillets into the steamer basket and cover it with a lid.
- Steam the fish for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- 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.
- For a complete meal, serve alongside fluffy steamed rice or sautéed seasonal vegetables.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider marinating the fish fillets in the soy sauce mixture for 15-30 minutes before steaming.
- You can also experiment by adding sliced chilies or a sprinkle of lime juice for a zesty kick.
- If you don't have a steamer, you can use a metal colander placed over a pot of boiling water, covered tightly with a lid.
