Categories     Fish and Seafood

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 scallions
2 tablespoons ginger
1 small bunch cilantro
1 ½ tablespoons light soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons hot water
10 ounce fillet of delicate white fish ((such as sea bass, grey sole, flounder, fluke, tilapia, or haddock))
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Cut the scallions into 2-inch lengths, and cut the pieces in half lengthwise. Julienne them thinly. Thinly slice about 15g of ginger, and julienne them. Give the cilantro a rough chop. Set the aromatics aside.
  • Combine the light soy sauce, salt, sugar and hot water in a small bowl and mix until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Set aside.
  • Prepare your steaming set-up, and fill with 1-2 inches of water. Bring to a boil.
  • Rinse your fish fillet, and carefully lay it on an oblong heat-proof plate that will fit into your wok or steaming setup. Carefully place it in the steamer, and adjust the heat to medium. The water should be at a slow boil that generates a good amount of steam, but not so high that the water evaporates too quickly.
  • Cover and steam for 7-10 minutes depending upon the size and thickness of your fish fillet. If you have extremely small, thin fillets (half an inch), cook for 4-5 minutes. Check for doneness using a butter knife. If it falls easily through the thickest part of the fillet to the bottom of the plate, the fish is done.
  • Turn off the heat, and carefully drain any liquid on the plate. Spread about ⅓ of the scallions, ginger, and cilantro on the steamed fish (alternatively, you can wait to do this AFTER adding the sauce).
  • To make the sauce, heat a wok or small saucepan to medium high heat, and add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the remaining ⅔ of the ginger, and fry for 1 minute. Add the white parts of the scallions and cook for 30 seconds.Then add rest of the scallions and cilantro. The mixture should be sizzling.
  • Add the soy sauce mixture. Bring the mixture to a bubble, and cook until the scallions and cilantro are just wilted, about 30 seconds.
  • Pour this mixture over the fish. If you prefer to add the raw aromatics after adding the sauce, you can do so now, and heat an additional 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to pour over the raw aromatics. Serve immediately!

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons toasted-sesame oil
2 whole black bass (1 1/2 to 2 pounds each; 1 1/2 inch thick), scaled and gutted, gills removed
1 piece (2 inches) peeled fresh ginger, cut into matchsticks
5 scallions, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces

1 large sweet potato, very thinly sliced, preferably on a mandoline
8 ounces Broccolini, trimmed, and halved lengthwise if thick

  • Toss ginger with scallions; stuff some into each fish cavity. Spread remaining mixture on top of fish. Let stand, covered, spooning marinade over fish often, for 30 minutes.
  • Bring water to a boil in a large skillet or wok. Arrange red onion on bottom layer of a 12-inch bamboo steamer. Remove fish from marinade with ginger-scallion mixture still on top, and arrange side by side on onion; reserve marinade. Spread sweet potato and Broccolini on separate sides of the top layer.
  • Set stacked steamer in skillet. Steam, covered, until fish is cooked through and vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (1-pound) whole sea bass, scaled, gutted, and scored with a sharp knife down to the bone
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 or 3 scallions, cut diagonally into rings to yield 1/4 cup

Yield Makes 8 servings (as part of a Chinese meal)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (3-lb) whole black bass or sea bass (not Chilean), cleaned, leaving head and tail intact
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 bunch scallions, white and pale green parts cut into very thin 2-inch strips and greens reserved separately
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into very thin matchsticks
3 tablespoons light soy sauce (preferably Pearl River Bridge brand)
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
Special Equipment
a large shallow baking dish (about 15 by 10 inches) to fit inside a 17- by 12- by 2 1/2-inch roasting pan; heavy-duty foil; a well-seasoned 14-inch flat-bottomed wok

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Put baking dish in roasting pan.
  • Rinse fish and pat dry, then rub inside and out with salt. Transfer to baking dish and sprinkle with scallion strips (white and pale green) and ginger.
  • Stir together soy sauce and sugar until sugar is dissolved, then pour over fish. Add enough boiling-hot water to roasting pan to reach halfway up side of baking dish. Oil a large sheet of heavy-duty foil, then tent foil (oiled side down) over fish and tightly seal around roasting pan. Carefully transfer roasting pan to oven and bake until fish is just cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes.

Pour oil around side of wok, then tilt wok to swirl oil, coating side, and heat until smoking. Remove from heat and immediately pour oil over scallion greens and fish.

BLACK BASS WITH SCALLIONS IN GINGER NAGE

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h45m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 bottle white wine
4 cups water
1 cup white-wine vinegar
1 stalk celery coarsely chopped
1 clove garlic peeled
4 leeks cut into 2-inch chunks
3 fresh tomatoes quartered
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 small fennel bulb with some green attached, quartered
6 fresh mint leaves
10 fresh basil leaves
4 black bass fillets about 8 ounces each (red snapper or halibut can be substituted)
20 scallions trimmed
1 fresh tomato peeled seeded and diced
1 2 1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger peeled and cut into julienne strips
1 lemon peel and pith removed sections cut out from membranes and diced
10 fresh coriander leaves cut across into thin strips

Steps:

  • Combine the wine, water, vinegar, celery, garlic, leeks, the quartered tomatoes, thyme, rosemary, salt and cayenne in a large, wide pot and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Add the fennel, mint and basil and simmer for 20 minutes longer. Strain.
  • Return the broth to the pot and simmer. Add the fish and poach until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the fish to 4 large soup plates. Add the scallions to the broth and blanch until just tender, about 2 minutes.
  • Arrange the scallions around the fish and top with the diced tomato, ginger, lemon and coriander. Ladle broth over the fish and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest black bass possible. Fresh fish will have a slightly sweet smell and firm flesh. Avoid fish that smells fishy or has soft flesh.
  • Score the fish before poaching. This will help the poaching liquid penetrate the fish and cook it evenly.
  • Use a variety of aromatics in the poaching liquid. This will add flavor to the fish. Common aromatics include ginger, scallions, garlic, lemongrass, and cilantro.
  • Poach the fish gently. The water should be barely simmering. If the water is too hot, the fish will overcook and become tough.
  • Don't overcook the fish. The fish is done when it is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the fish immediately. Poached fish is best served hot or warm.

Conclusion:

Poached black bass is a healthy and delicious dish that is easy to make. This poaching method can also be used to cook other types of fish, such as trout, salmon, and cod. With its delicate flavor and flaky texture, poached black bass is a surefire hit for any occasion.
