Tips:

Choose the right fish: Firm-fleshed fish such as salmon, halibut, or cod work best for this recipe.
Use a good quality rice wine: The flavor of the rice wine will greatly impact the final dish, so be sure to use a good quality one. A dry or semi-dry rice wine is recommended.
Don't overcook the fish: The fish should be cooked through but still moist and flaky. Overcooking will make the fish tough and dry.
Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after cooking. The fish will lose its flavor and texture if it sits for too long.
