Ingredients
- 4 fillets (4-6 oz each) Fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or sea bass)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger, thinly sliced into matchsticks
- 4 stalks Scallions, julienned (green and white parts)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (toasted, Whole30-compliant)
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil (or coconut oil)
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup Water
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the fillets with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 2
Prepare a steaming setup: Fill a large pot or wok with 1 cup of water and place a steaming rack or plate inside. Make sure the plate or rack is elevated above the water level. Bring the water to a gentle boil.
Step 3
While the water is heating, arrange the seasoned fish fillets on a heatproof plate that fits inside your steamer. Sprinkle the matchstick ginger evenly over the fish fillets.
Step 4
Place the plate with the fish into the steamer and cover with a lid. Steam the fish over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The exact timing will depend on the thickness of the fillets.
Step 5
While the fish is steaming, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, mix the coconut aminos and sesame oil until combined.
Step 6
Heat the avocado oil in a small pan over medium heat until it’s hot but not smoking. Carefully pour the hot oil over the steamed fish fillets to infuse them with flavor.
Step 7
Drizzle the coconut aminos mixture over the steamed fish, then top with julienned scallions for freshness and color.
Step 8
Serve the fish immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra layer of flavor. Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice for a complete Whole30 meal.
