Provided by Anita Lo

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds whole black sea bass, gutted and scaled. May substitute with tilapia or branzino
1 4-inch knob ginger
3 scallions
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1 dash toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Peel and julienne the ginger. Trim and slice the scallions on a bias. Place in shallow, heatproof dish large enough to hold the fish.
  • Make sure the fish is clean of scales and snip off the sharp spines with kitchen shears.
  • Score the fish on both sides on a bias at 2-inch (5cm) intervals, down to the bone. Season lightly with salt and pepper inside and out. Place the fish in the dish and disperse the scallion whites (reserve the greens for garnish) and ginger on top, underneath, and inside the fish. Add the soy sauce, peanut oil, sesame oil and the sugar.
  • Place the dish with the fish set on a rack above simmering water in a wide, shallow pan with a tight fitting lid. Cook until a small knife or skewer can be easily inserted into the thickest part of the body of the fish, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the pan, sprinkle with scallion greens and serve immediately.

STEAMED FISH WITH GINGER AND SCALLIONS

You can certainly make this fish in a bamboo steamer, but I have found it works well done in foil packets in the oven--and there's a bonus--nothing to wash.

Provided by Chef Kate

Categories     Halibut

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 fish fillets (halibut or a white fleshed fish of your choice)
salt and pepper
1/2 inch fresh ginger, peeled and smashed
3 scallions, sliced and smashed
1 cup soy sauce
1 1/4 cups chicken stock, hot, preferably homemade and unsalted
1/4 cup sugar
fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons scallions, julienned
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled, julienned
1 ounce sesame oil, heated

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Place each fish fillet on a large piece of aluminum foil.
  • Combine the smashed ginger, scallions, oil and salt and pepper and distribute the mixture among the four pieces of fish.
  • Bring up the ends of each piece of foil and close up to form four loose pouches.
  • Place the four pouches on a cookie sheet and place in the oven for about ten minutes.
  • While the fish is cooking, make the sauce by combing the ingredients and stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Open one foil packet and make sure fish is coked through.
  • If so, place each piece of fish on an individual serving plate on which you have pooled a tablespoon or two of the warm sauce and garnish with the julienned scallions and ginger.
  • Drizzle the hot oil over the fish and serve, with extra sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality cod fillets. Look for fillets that are firm, moist, and have a mild, briny smell.
  • Steam the cod gently to prevent it from overcooking. Overcooked cod will be tough and dry, so it's important to cook it just until it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use a variety of aromatics to flavor the cod. Ginger, scallions, and soy sauce are all classic Chinese flavors that pair well with cod. You can also add other aromatics, such as garlic, lemongrass, or chili peppers.
  • Serve the steamed cod immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Steamed cod is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as soy sauce, ginger-scallion sauce, or chili sauce.

Conclusion:

Steamed cod with ginger and scallions is a healthy, delicious, and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your steamed cod turns out perfect every time.
