STEAMED WHOLE FISH WITH GINGER AND SESAME



Steamed Whole Fish With Ginger and Sesame image

Steaming a whole fish is an excellent, and speedy, way to cook. The fish here, dabbed with ginger and a few other aromatics, is transformed by the process, and delivers a sweet, near-melting succulence. The pan juices are the only sauce necessary. A traditional bamboo steamer is great to have, but any sizable steamer will work, or you can rig up a steamer using a large pot. Make sure that the makeshift rack sits an inch or so above the boiling water, and that the pot has a lid.

Time 1h

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 whole fish, like black sea bass or red snapper, about 1 1/2 pounds each, gutted and scaled by a fishmonger
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons Chinese sweet wine or dry sherry
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons grated ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chile bean paste, available in a Chinese grocery
1 teaspoon sesame oil, more for dressing
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 bunches scallions, cut in 3-inch lengths
1 bunch cilantro

Steps:

  • Rinse fish with cold water, pat dry and season inside and out with salt and pepper. Place both fish on a heatproof platter or shallow baking dish. (Dish must be slightly smaller than inside dimensions of steamer.)
  • Whisk together sweet wine, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, chile bean paste and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Pour over fish and let marinate, turning once, for 30 minutes.
  • Set up steamer with 3 inches of water in the bottom, then set rack 1 inch over water. Bring water to a rapid boil. Place fish, still on platter with marinade, on rack and cover with lid. (If using a bamboo steamer, cover top with a dish towel to retain steam.) Steam fish for 10 to 12 minutes, until just done. Flesh should look opaque, and there should be no pink at the bone when probed gently with a paring knife. Carefully remove platter from steamer.
  • Meanwhile, place a skillet or wok over high heat and add vegetable oil. When oil looks hazy, add scallions and toss to coat. Sprinkle lightly with salt and stir-fry until slightly charred, about 2 minutes.
  • To serve, scatter scallions over fish and top liberally with cilantro sprigs. (To make a tastier cilantro garnish, dress sprigs lightly with sesame oil and salt.) Using 2 forks, serve top fillet from carcass. Remove and discard skeleton to reveal lower fillet. Give each diner some fish, scallions and cilantro. Spoon pan juices over each serving.

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.

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

  • 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.

Categories     Dinner     Seafood     Fish     Bass     Snapper     Ginger     Green Onion/Scallion     Soy Sauce     Wine     Lunar New Year     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Steam     Healthy

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 whole fish, such as striped bass, snapper, or rock fish (about 1½ pounds), scaled and cleaned (ask the fishmonger to do this)
1 to 2 teaspoons kosher salt
6 stalks green onions, cut into (3-inch) segments, divided
½ cup finely julienned fresh ginger, divided
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine or dry Marsala wine
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Roughly chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Set up your steamer over high heat.
  • Score the fish, gently making three to four cuts along the body of the fish on both sides, starting from the dorsal fin to the belly. The cuts should be deep enough that you can stuff them with some ginger and onions. Sprinkle the salt in the slits on both sides to help flavor the fish. Gently place half of the onions and ¼ cup of the ginger into the slits.
  • In a small pot over medium-high heat, combine the soy sauce, wine, oil, and the remaining onions and ¼ cup ginger. Heat to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Keep the sauce over low heat while the fish steams.
  • Place the fish in a steam-proof dish, such as a pie plate, that fits in your steamer. The dish should be deep enough to let the sauce pool at the bottom. Steam the fish for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the fish. To check for doneness, turn off the heat. Carefully lift the lid of the steamer. Using the tip of a sharp knife, gently probe the flesh at the meatiest part of the fish. If it is opaque and flakes, then the fish is done steaming. If it looks underdone, then close the lid and steam over high heat for up to 5 minutes more.
  • Remove the dish from the steamer and drizzle the soy sauce mixture over the fish. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with rice as a part of a meal.

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.

STEAMED WHOLE FISH WITH GINGER, SCALLIONS, AND SOY



Steamed Whole Fish with Ginger, Scallions, and Soy image

Provided by Charles Phan

Categories     Fish     Ginger     Steam     Dinner     Seafood     Soy Sauce     Green Onion/Scallion     Sugar Conscious     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 2 to 4 as part of a multicourse meal

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (1 1/2-pound) whole white fish (such as sea bass, branzino, or flounder), cleaned with head and tail intact
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 by 1/2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely julienned
1/4 cup light soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine
1 scallion, white and light green parts only, julienned
4 cilantro sprigs
1/2 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse the fish in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season the fish inside and out with salt and pepper. Place the fish on a heatproof plate that is both large enough to accommodate it (a glass pie plate works well) and will also fit inside your steamer, bending the fish slightly if it is too long. Stuff half of the ginger inside the cavity of the fish and spread the remaining ginger on top of the fish.
  • 2. Pour water into a wok or stockpot and set a steamer in the wok or on the rim of the stockpot. Make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the steamer. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
  • 3. Place the plate holding the fish in the steamer, cover, and steam for about 8 minutes, until the fish flakes easily when tested with the tip of a knife.
  • 4. While the fish is steaming, in a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, wine, and 1 tablespoon of water. Set aside.
  • 5. When the fish is ready, carefully remove the plate from the steamer and pour off any accumulated liquid. Lay the scallion and cilantro along the top of the fish. In a small sauté pan, heat the oil over high heat until it is hot but not smoking. Remove the oil from the heat and pour it directly over the scallion and cilantro to "cook" them. Drizzle the soy mixture over the fish and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest fish available. Fresh fish will have a mild, briny smell and firm, shiny flesh.
  • Use a variety of aromatics in your steaming liquid. Ginger, scallions, and garlic are all classic choices, but you can also experiment with lemongrass, cilantro, or lime leaves.
  • Don't overcrowd the steamer. If the fish is too crowded, it will not cook evenly.
  • Steam the fish until it is just cooked through. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the steamed fish immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Steamed fish is a healthy and delicious way to cook fish. It is a simple dish to make, and it can be easily customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can create a steamed fish dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
