Ingredients

• 4 pieces Orange roughy fillets
• 6 stalks Scallions (green onions), thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, finely grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Chicken or vegetable stock
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Pepper

Directions

Step 1

Pat the orange roughy fillets dry with paper towels, and season both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the fish fillets and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the grated ginger, garlic, and scallions, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and chicken or vegetable stock to the skillet. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the sauce and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 8

Stir in the lime juice to brighten the flavors.

Step 9

Return the orange roughy fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the fish through.

Step 10

Serve the orange roughy fillets with the scallion and ginger sauce over steamed rice or alongside sautéed vegetables.
