Ingredients

• 4 ounces fish fillet (such as cod, halibut, or tilapia)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, thinly sliced
• 2 whole scallions, julienned
• 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, for Paleo-friendly garnish)
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups water (for steaming)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the fish fillet by patting it dry with a paper towel and seasoning both sides with sea salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Set up a steaming apparatus by filling a large pot with 2 cups of water. Place a steaming rack inside, ensuring it sits above the water level.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Place the fish fillet on a heatproof plate that fits into the steaming rack. Scatter the sliced ginger evenly over the top of the fish.

Step 5

Carefully place the plate with the fish onto the steaming rack. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and steam for 7-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

While the fish is steaming, julienne the scallions and set them aside.

Step 7

Once the fish is done steaming, carefully remove the plate from the pot. Sprinkle the julienned scallions over the cooked fish.

Step 8

Drizzle the coconut aminos over the fish fillet. For added flavor, drizzle with sesame oil if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately with a side of steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice for a complete Paleo-friendly meal.
