Ingredients
- 2 fillets (about 6 oz each) white fish fillet (e.g., cod, tilapia, or halibut)
- 1 inch piece, julienned fresh ginger
- 4 stalks, sliced into 2-inch strips scallions
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (use gluten-free if required)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon white pepper (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the fish fillets by patting them dry with a paper towel. Lightly season both sides with salt and white pepper, if using.
Step 2
Arrange the fish fillets on a heatproof plate that fits into a steamer or steaming setup.
Step 3
Scatter the julienned ginger and half of the sliced scallions evenly over the fish fillets.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and water. This will be your steaming sauce.
Step 5
Drizzle half of the sauce mixture evenly over the fish fillets and aromatics.
Step 6
Set up your steamer by filling a pot or wok with 2 inches of water and bringing it to a gentle boil. Place the plate with the fish into the steamer, cover with a lid, and steam over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Carefully remove the plate from the steamer and pour the remaining sauce over the cooked fish.
Step 8
Garnish the fish with the remaining scallions and serve immediately. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice or a side of sautéed vegetables.
