Steps:
- 1. To prepare this dish you need a steamer, or you can improvise like the Chinese do with a regular covered pot into which you put a bowl upside down with a plate on top.
- 2. Season the opah with salt and pepper and marinate in the olive oil and wine for 20 to 30 minutes.
- 3. Mix Ginger Pesto ingredients. Arrange the fish in your steamer and spread about 1 teaspoon of pesto on each fillet. Steam for 6 to 8 minutes, or until done.
- 4. Serve on top of a dollops of Garlic Mashed Potatoes, surrounded by Ginger Cream Sauce.
- 5. To make the sauce, combine cream, mushrooms, shoyu and ginger. Bring to a boil, lower heat and let simmer until reduced to the consistency you prefer. Fold in Chinese parsley and adjust seasonings with salt and white pepper.
