FISH IN GINGER SAUCE
This is far easier than the list of ingredients may indicate. If you enjoy fishing, this is a great way to prepare your fresh catch, whether bass, bluegill, crappie, perch or walleye fillets. It's great with tilapia fillets too. I came up with this Asian-like recipe after years of experimenting and tweaking. It has a little spice kick to it from the Szechuan stir-fry sauce, but anyone can handle it, even kids. I posted a 5 minute video of myself making this dish on YouTube under the title "Fish in Ginger Sauce" (from Juanelo1946)."

ASIAN GINGER SAUCE FOR FISH
Came up with this after searching for a similar sauce. Can be used on just about any white fish (cod, sole, orange roughy, flounder) or even salmon. Try to use fresh ginger as it will really make a difference. If you don't have fresh then ground ginger will suffice.

Steps:
- Pat halibut dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of fillet with salt. Scatter the ginger over the top of the fish and place onto a heatproof ceramic dish.
- Place into a bamboo steamer set over several inches of gently boiling water, and cover. Gently steam for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Pour accumulated water out of the dish and sprinkle the fillet with green onion. Drizzle both soy sauces over the surface of the fish.
- Heat peanut and sesame oils in a small skillet over medium-high heat until they begin to smoke. When the oil is hot, carefully pour on top of the halibut fillet. The very hot oil will cause the green onions and water on top of the fish to pop and spatter all over; be careful. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve immediately.

Steps:
- 1. Rinse the fish in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season the fish inside and out with salt and pepper. Place the fish on a heatproof plate that is both large enough to accommodate it (a glass pie plate works well) and will also fit inside your steamer, bending the fish slightly if it is too long. Stuff half of the ginger inside the cavity of the fish and spread the remaining ginger on top of the fish.
- 2. Pour water into a wok or stockpot and set a steamer in the wok or on the rim of the stockpot. Make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the steamer. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
- 3. Place the plate holding the fish in the steamer, cover, and steam for about 8 minutes, until the fish flakes easily when tested with the tip of a knife.
- 4. While the fish is steaming, in a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, wine, and 1 tablespoon of water. Set aside.
- 5. When the fish is ready, carefully remove the plate from the steamer and pour off any accumulated liquid. Lay the scallion and cilantro along the top of the fish. In a small sauté pan, heat the oil over high heat until it is hot but not smoking. Remove the oil from the heat and pour it directly over the scallion and cilantro to "cook" them. Drizzle the soy mixture over the fish and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your sauce a more vibrant color.
- Don't overcook the ginger: Ginger can easily become bitter if it is overcooked. Cook it just until it is fragrant and slightly softened.
- Use a variety of vinegars: Different vinegars can give your sauce different flavor profiles. Rice vinegar is a good all-purpose vinegar, but you can also try white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or balsamic vinegar.
- Add other seasonings to taste: You can add other seasonings to your sauce, such as soy sauce, fish sauce, or sesame oil, to taste. Be careful not to add too much, or you will overpower the flavor of the ginger.
- Store the sauce in a cool, dark place: Asian ginger sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Asian ginger sauce is a versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is especially good with fish, but it can also be used on chicken, pork, or tofu. The sauce is also a great way to add flavor to vegetables. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to add flavor to your meals, Asian ginger sauce is a great option.
