Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillet
- 2 tablespoons ginger
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 slice lemon
- 0.5 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the ingredients. Peel and julienne the ginger, finely mince the garlic, and slice the green onions diagonally. Set these aside.
Step 2
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with freshly ground black pepper.
Step 3
Arrange the fish fillets on a heatproof plate that fits inside your steamer. Sprinkle the julienned ginger and minced garlic over the fish.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and water. Stir well and drizzle the mixture evenly over the fish fillets.
Step 5
Fill a wok or deep pan with about 2 inches of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Place a steaming rack inside the wok.
Step 6
Once the water is boiling, carefully place the plate with the fish onto the steaming rack. Cover the wok and steam the fish for about 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
While the fish is steaming, chop the cilantro and prepare the lemon slice for garnishing.
Step 8
When the fish is cooked, remove the plate from the steamer. Garnish with sliced green onions, fresh cilantro, and a lemon slice.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a main dish, accompanied by steamed rice or a side of your choice.
