Ingredients
- 4 pieces sea bass fillets
- 1 cup sake
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger
- 4 stalks green onions
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the sea bass fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Lightly season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Peel and julienne the fresh ginger into thin matchstick-like strips. Thinly slice the green onions on a diagonal, separating the white and green parts.
Step 3
In a deep skillet or a wide saucepan with a lid, pour in the sake and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 4
Place a steaming rack or a heatproof plate inside the skillet, ensuring it is elevated above the liquid. Arrange the sea bass fillets on the rack or plate in a single layer.
Step 5
Top the sea bass with the julienned ginger and the white parts of the green onions. Cover the skillet tightly with the lid and steam the fish for 8-10 minutes or until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 6
Carefully transfer the steamed sea bass to a serving platter. Drizzle the fillets with a mixture of soy sauce and sesame oil.
Step 7
Garnish with the green parts of the green onions for a fresh pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
