Among all the cooking methods, steaming helps to retain the most of the fish's natural flavors, vitamins, and minerals. Cod, with its mild flavor and delicate texture, makes it a great canvas to be paired with the light and aromatic ginger. For best results, be sure to use fresh, high-quality cod and ginger, as their flavors will shine through in the final dish. Steaming cod with ginger is not only a simple yet flavorful way to cook cod, it’s also a great way to enjoy a healthy and delicious meal without a lot of hassle.

Steps:
- Slice the cod fillet into two equal weight pieces, ½ lb each fillet. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- Fold one piece of the parchment paper in half and place 1 fish fillet in the center and closer to the seam. Repeat with the other half of the fish.
- Season each filet with ¼ tsp coarse salt, 1 tbsp coconut aminos, and 1 tsp toasted sesame oil.
- To make a paper pouch: Fold the paper over so the two ends meet, enclosing the food. Beginning at either end of the center crease, make small, overlapping diagonal folds around the filling, pleating it all around to make a semicircular airtight package that looks like a half-moon shape calzone. Seal the packet tight. You might need to twist and fold the end tip to secure the envelope.
- If use air fryer: place 1 packet inside of the basket. Lightly press the paper pouch down so it won't get burnt. Air fry at 300F for 15 minutes or until the fish is soft and flaky. Test with a skewer, if it goes in easily, the fish is done. If not, air fry for 5 additional minutes. If your fish is thinner than 1-inch, reduce the cook time by 5 minutes.
- If use oven: Place both packets over a large sheet pan. Bake at 400F for 15-20 minutes or until the fish is buttery soft. The exact bake time will depend on the thickness of the fish fillets and type of fish.
- In the meantime, finely chop ginger, scallions, and chili peppers. Divide them into 2 equal piles.
- When the fish is about 5 minutes away from ready, in a heavy bottom saucepan, heat up the avocado oil over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. Cover the saucepan with a lid but leave a small gap open to allow air to come-in.
- Carefully remove the fish pouch. Let cool for 3 minutes before using a kitchen scissors to cut open the packet (be careful of the hot steam). Add the aromatics - ginger, scallions, and chilies - on top of the fillets and season with a pinch of salt.
- Carefully pour half amount of the hot oil over each fillet and the aromatics on top. Serve hot and immediately.

Steps:
- Set a large bamboo or metal steamer basket over a skillet of simmering water over medium heat.
- Crush the ginger slices with the flat side of a knife. Place the garlic and half each of the ginger and scallions on a plate that will fit inside the steamer. Score the fish skin a few times with a knife; season with salt and pepper. Place the fish skin-side up on the plate, drizzle with 2 teaspoons sesame oil and sprinkle with the sugar. Put the plate in the steamer. Mix the soy sauce and rice wine and pour over the fish.
- Cover and steam the fish until just cooked through, 6 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness. Carefully remove the hot plate. Add the snow peas to the steamer, season with salt, cover and cook until bright green, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Transfer the fish to a platter, spoon the juices on top and sprinkle with the remaining scallions. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil and the peanut oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the remaining ginger and cook until it begins to brown. Pour the hot oil over the fish.

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:
- Bring 2 cups cold water to a simmer in a large wok over medium heat.
- Line a 30cm bamboo steamer with baking paper and place steamer over water.
- Place fish in steamer and cover and steam for 5 to 10 minutes or until just cooked through (timing will depend on thickness of fish and you could use blue eye, snapper or ling fish are suggested).
- Personally I would use my electric 3 tiered steamer to steam the fish.
- Carefully transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile combine coriander, onion and chilli in a bowl.
- Combine ginger, garlic, sugar and soy sauce in a heatproof bowl.
- Place peanut oil and sesame oil in a saucepan over high heat and cook for 2 minutes until starting to smoke and then carefully pour over ginger mixture (CAREFUL it will spit).
- Drizzle ginger mix over fish and top with coriander mix and serve with rice and greens.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest cod you can find. Fresh cod should have a mild, slightly sweet smell and firm, white flesh. Avoid cod that is slimy or has a strong fishy odor.
- Use a steamer basket to cook the cod. A steamer basket allows the cod to cook evenly without being overcooked. You can also use a colander or a metal rack in a pot of boiling water.
- Season the cod with simple ingredients. Salt, pepper, and lemon juice are all you need to bring out the cod's natural flavor. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic, ginger, or dill.
- Cook the cod until it is just cooked through. Cod is a delicate fish, so it is important not to overcook it. The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the cod immediately. Steamed cod is best served immediately, while it is still hot and flaky.
Conclusion:
Steamed cod is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy this versatile fish. It is a simple dish to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your cod plain or seasoned, steamed cod is a surefire hit.
