Ingredients

• 1 lb grouper fillet
• 1 oz fresh ginger
• 3 stalks scallions (green onions)
• 2 tbsp coconut aminos
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 0.5 tsp sea salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 2 cups water
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the fish: Rinse the grouper fillet under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Slice the fresh ginger into thin matchsticks and set aside. Chop the scallions into thin strips, separating the white parts from the green parts.

Step 3

Set up a steaming apparatus: Fill a large pot or wok with 2 cups of water. Place a steaming rack or basket above the water line. Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 4

Place the grouper fillet on a heatproof plate that fits inside the steamer. Scatter the ginger matchsticks and the white parts of the scallions evenly over the fish.

Step 5

Carefully place the plate with the fish onto the steaming rack inside the pot or wok. Cover with a lid and steam for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

While the fish steams, mix the coconut aminos and sesame oil in a small bowl to create a Paleo-friendly sauce.

Step 7

Once the fish is cooked, carefully remove the plate from the steamer using tongs or oven mitts. Pour the sauce evenly over the fish. Garnish with the green parts of the scallions and optional fresh cilantro.

Step 8

Serve immediately alongside steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice for a complete Paleo meal.
