Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 6 ounces each) Grouper fillets
• 2 tablespoons, julienned Fresh ginger
• 4 stalks, thinly sliced Scallions
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 1 clove, minced Garlic
• 4 pieces Lemon slices
• 1 cup (for steaming) Water
• 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare your steaming setup by adding 1 cup of water to a pot and placing a steaming rack or basket above the water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to medium heat.

Step 2

Pat the grouper fillets dry with a paper towel. Place each fillet on a heatproof plate or shallow dish that will fit inside your steamer or steaming rack.

Step 3

Sprinkle half of the julienned ginger and half of the scallions evenly over the fillets. Place 2 lemon slices on top of each fillet for added flavor during steaming.

Step 4

Carefully place the plates with the fillets into the steaming basket. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and steam for 10–12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5

While the fish is steaming, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and minced garlic.

Step 6

Once the fish is cooked, carefully remove the plates from the steamer. Discard the lemon slices. Drizzle the prepared sauce over the fillets and garnish with the remaining ginger, scallions, and optional fresh cilantro.

Step 7

Serve the steamed grouper hot with a side of steamed vegetables or brown rice for a complete heart-healthy meal. Enjoy!
