Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) grouper fillets
- 2 tablespoons (thinly sliced into matchsticks) fresh ginger
- 4 stalks (sliced into 2-inch strips) green onions (scallions)
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh cilantro (optional)
- 4 cups (for steaming) water
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the grouper fillets by patting them dry with paper towels. Set the fillets aside on a plate.
Step 2
Peel the ginger and slice it into thin matchsticks. Slice the scallions into 2-inch strips, separating the white and green parts.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Set the mixture aside as a light seasoning sauce.
Step 4
Fill a large wok, skillet, or steaming pot with 4 cups of water. Place a steamer rack or basket in the pot, ensuring it sits above the water level. Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 5
Line a heatproof plate or shallow dish that fits inside your steamer basket with a piece of parchment paper. Place the grouper fillets on the parchment, ensuring they are in a single layer without overlapping.
Step 6
Scatter the sliced ginger and the white parts of the scallions over the top of the fish.
Step 7
Carefully place the plate or dish with the fish into the steamer basket. Cover the pot with a lid and steam for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 8
Carefully remove the dish from the steamer. Drizzle the prepared seasoning sauce evenly over the steamed grouper, and top with the green parts of the scallions.
Step 9
If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Step 10
Serve the steamed grouper hot with a side of steamed vegetables or brown rice for a complete low-sodium meal.
