Ingredients
- 4 fillets (4-6 oz each) grouper fillet
- 2 tablespoons (thinly sliced into matchsticks) fresh ginger
- 4 stalks (sliced into 2-inch strips) scallions
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (toasted, optional for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 cup (for steaming) water
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) fresh cilantro
- 4 pieces (for serving, optional) lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a large steamer or a deep skillet with a steaming rack by adding 1 cup of water to the bottom. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 2
Pat the grouper fillets dry with paper towels. Season them evenly with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Place a heatproof plate or shallow dish that fits inside the steamer. Lay the seasoned grouper fillets onto the plate in a single layer.
Step 4
Scatter the sliced ginger and garlic over the top of the fish, followed by half of the scallion strips (reserve the other half for garnish).
Step 5
Drizzle the coconut aminos evenly over the fillets, making sure each fillet has a bit of the flavoring.
Step 6
Cover the steamer or skillet with a lid and steam the fish for 10-12 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking to maintain the fish's delicate texture.
Step 7
Carefully remove the plate from the steamer. Sprinkle the remaining fresh scallions over the steamed fillets for a crisp, fresh topping.
Step 8
If using, lightly drizzle the sesame oil over the top and garnish with chopped cilantro for extra flavor. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
