6 TB low sodium (good quality soy sauce)
2 TB toasted Asian sesame oil
2 TB Asian rice cooking wine

1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves
4 stalks thinly sliced green onions

Steps:

  • Dry fish fillets thoroughly with paper towels. Place in a single layer in a 9x13 glass dish or other large microwavable dish.
  • In a bowl, whisk together all remaining ingredients (except for cilantro and green onions) until well combined. Pour evenly over the fish, ensuring that both sides of fillets are coated with sauce. Sprinkle evenly with cilantro and green onions on top of fillets. Tightly cover dish with two layers of cling wrap.

  • Use a microwave-safe dish: Make sure the dish is large enough to hold the fish comfortably.
  • Cover the fish tightly: This will help to keep the fish moist and prevent it from drying out.
