Ingredients

• 400 grams white fish fillets (e.g., cod or sea bass)
• 200 grams firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 2 cloves garlic
• 3 stalks scallions
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 small red chili (optional)
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch black pepper

Directions

Step 1

1. Start by slicing the firm tofu into small cubes, about 1 cm in size, and set aside.

Step 2

2. Finely chop the fresh ginger and garlic cloves. Slice the scallions diagonally into thin rings. If using, finely slice the red chili.

Step 3

3. Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

4. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, and lemon juice to create the marinade. Add in the chopped ginger and garlic, and half of the sliced scallions.

Step 5

5. Place each fish fillet on a large piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil. Spoon the marinade evenly over the top of each fillet.

Step 6

6. Scatter the tofu cubes and remaining scallion pieces around the fish. If desired, add a few slices of red chili for a spicy kick.

Step 7

7. Fold the parchment or foil over the fish, crimping the edges to form a sealed packet.

Step 8

8. Heat a steamer pot over high heat and bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, and place the fish packets in the steamer basket.

Step 9

9. Cover the steamer and steam the fish for approximately 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

10. Carefully remove the packets from the steamer. Open them gently, being cautious of the hot steam. Serve immediately, straight from the packet, to retain all the fragrant flavors.
