Ingredients

• 4 pieces White fish fillets (such as cod or halibut)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger, julienned
• 2 pieces Green onions, julienned
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 piece Red chili, sliced (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Season the fish fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Prepare a steamer setup by filling a pot with about 2 inches of water and bringing it to a simmer. Ensure the steaming basket or plate fits snugly over the pot without touching the water.

Step 3

Place the fish fillets in the steaming basket or a heatproof plate that fits into the steamer. Make sure they are not overlapping.

Step 4

Evenly sprinkle the julienned ginger over the fish fillets.

Step 5

Cover the pot and steam the fish over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, lemon juice, and sesame oil.

Step 7

Once the fish is done steaming, carefully remove it from the steamer.

Step 8

Drizzle the soy sauce mixture over the fish fillets.

Step 9

Garnish with julienned green onions, chopped cilantro, and sliced red chili (if using) for added flavor and color.

Step 10

Serve the steamed fish immediately, ensuring each serving gets a bit of the toppings and sauce.
