CANTONESE STEAMED FISH



Cantonese Steamed Fish image

Cantonese steamed fish is often served as one of the courses in a Chinese banquet, but it's also an easy meal to make on any weeknight at home with just a few ingredients.

Provided by Bill

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!

1 1/2 pounds whole black sea bass, gutted and scaled. May substitute with tilapia or branzino

3 scallions
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup soy sauce

  • 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.

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound halibut fillet
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt or kosher salt
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
3 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
¼ cup lightly packed fresh cilantro sprigs

Steps:

  • Pat halibut dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of fillet with salt. Scatter the ginger over the top of the fish and place onto a heatproof ceramic dish.
  • Place into a bamboo steamer set over several inches of gently boiling water, and cover. Gently steam for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Pour accumulated water out of the dish and sprinkle the fillet with green onion. Drizzle both soy sauces over the surface of the fish.
  • Heat peanut and sesame oils in a small skillet over medium-high heat until they begin to smoke. When the oil is hot, carefully pour on top of the halibut fillet. The very hot oil will cause the green onions and water on top of the fish to pop and spatter all over; be careful. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve immediately.

STEAMED FISH WITH GINGER AND SCALLIONS



Steamed Fish With Ginger and Scallions image

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 fish fillets. The fresher the fish, the better it will taste. Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, briny smell.
  • Use a variety of fish fillets. This recipe can be made with any type of fish fillet, so feel free to experiment. Some popular choices include salmon, cod, tilapia, and halibut.
  • Marinate the fish fillets in the ginger-scallion oil before steaming. This will help to infuse the fish with flavor and keep it moist.
  • Steam the fish fillets until they are just cooked through. Overcooking the fish will make it dry and tough.
  • Serve the steamed fish fillets immediately. They are best enjoyed when they are hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Steamed fish fillets with scallion-ginger oil is a healthy and delicious dish that can be made in just 30 minutes. It is a great option for a light and flavorful meal. Serve the fish with steamed rice or vegetables, and enjoy!
