Steps:
- Cut 4 (12-inch-square pieces) of aluminum foil. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Working with 1 foil sheet at a time, place the foil sheets on the work surface. Place 1 1/2 cups of spinach in the center of each foil sheet. Top with a sea bass fillet. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of ginger and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic, then drizzle 2 tablespoons of Marsala, 2 teaspoons of soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil over the fish and spinach. Gather the foil sheets over the fish. Fold in the foil edges and pinch tightly to seal. Place the foil packages on a heavy large baking sheet.
- Bake until the spinach wilts and the fish is just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer the packages to wide shallow bowls. Cool 5 minutes. Open package and fold down to reveal fish, being careful of hot steam. Squeeze the lime juice over the fish. Sprinkle the basil over and serve.

STEAMED SEA BASS IN HOT BEER AND GINGER LIME SAUCE
Historically, Beijing relied upon the neighbouring provinces of Hebei, Tianjin and Shandong for its seafood and other fresh produce, which because of the transportation involved were preserved using various drying methods. However, today with modern transportation, produce from Shandong can arrive in the markets in Beijing within a day and fresh catches such as sea bass are a prized restaurant dish. A particularly popular dish is steamed fish served in a soy and spring onion hot oil, which originated from southern China where steaming is a common cooking technique. I have made my version of steamed sea bass cooked with a beer sauce. Try it with rice and my garlic oyster mushrooms.

Steps:
- To make the bass: Either drape some of the ginger and spring onion strips across the fish or tuck them within the scores in the skin. Then, stuff the rest inside the cavity of the fish. Set the bass on a heatproof plate or dish and pour over the rice wine or sherry. Place the plate inside a large bamboo steamer and cover. Then, secure the steamer on top of a pan of boiling water, making sure the water does not touch the base of the steamer. Steam the fish for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on the size of the fish, until its flesh flakes when poked with chopsticks. Turn off the heat and leave the fish in the steamer.
- To make the sauce: Heat the groundnut oil in a large pan or wok. Add in the ginger, and stir-fry for a few seconds, then add the lime zest, followed by the beer, and soy sauce. Stir and, as the liquid comes to the boil, add the spring onions and cilantro. At this point, switch off the heat immediately.
- Remove the plate and fish from the bamboo steamer, pour the sauce over the fish, and serve immediately with some steamed rice.
- If you don't have a large enough steamer, place the fish on a heatproof plate, and put on a roasting rack in a pan. Put the pan in the oven, and carefully pour boiling water into the pan. Cover with foil, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes at 400 degrees F, or until the flesh flakes when poked and has turned opaque.

Tips:
- To ensure the sea bass is cooked evenly, make sure the fillets are of uniform thickness. If necessary, use a sharp knife to carefully score the thicker portions of the fillets.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the sea bass. If the pan is too crowded, the fish will steam rather than sear, resulting in a less flavorful dish.
- Be careful not to overcook the sea bass. The fish is done when it is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork.
- The lime-ginger sauce is a great way to add a bright and flavorful touch to the sea bass. Be sure to use fresh lime juice and ginger for the best results.
- This dish pairs well with a variety of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
This sea bass with lime-ginger sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is flaky and flavorful, and the sauce is bright and tangy. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
