1 (1-pound) whole sea bass, scaled, gutted, and scored with a sharp knife down to the bone
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest striped bass possible. The fresher the fish, the better it will taste.
  • Use a large enough steamer. The fish should not be crowded in the steamer, or it will not cook evenly.
  • Bring the water to a boil before adding the fish. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the steamer.
  • Steam the fish for the correct amount of time. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the steamed striped bass immediately. It is best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Steamed striped bass with ginger and scallions is a healthy and delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is simple to prepare and can be cooked in under 30 minutes. The fish is steamed until it is flaky and tender, and the ginger and scallions add a bright and flavorful touch. Serve the steamed striped bass with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or noodles.
