Steamed Fish with Scallions and Ginger image

This is a beautiful entertaining course to "wow" your guests. It's also an extremely healthy, family-style meal.

Provided by Anita Lo

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds whole black sea bass, gutted and scaled. May substitute with tilapia or branzino
1 4-inch knob ginger
3 scallions
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1 dash toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Peel and julienne the ginger. Trim and slice the scallions on a bias. Place in shallow, heatproof dish large enough to hold the fish.
  • Make sure the fish is clean of scales and snip off the sharp spines with kitchen shears.
  • Score the fish on both sides on a bias at 2-inch (5cm) intervals, down to the bone. Season lightly with salt and pepper inside and out. Place the fish in the dish and disperse the scallion whites (reserve the greens for garnish) and ginger on top, underneath, and inside the fish. Add the soy sauce, peanut oil, sesame oil and the sugar.
  • Place the dish with the fish set on a rack above simmering water in a wide, shallow pan with a tight fitting lid. Cook until a small knife or skewer can be easily inserted into the thickest part of the body of the fish, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the pan, sprinkle with scallion greens and serve immediately.

STEAMED WHOLE FISH WITH GINGER AND SESAME



Steamed Whole Fish With Ginger and Sesame image

Steaming a whole fish is an excellent, and speedy, way to cook. The fish here, dabbed with ginger and a few other aromatics, is transformed by the process, and delivers a sweet, near-melting succulence. The pan juices are the only sauce necessary. A traditional bamboo steamer is great to have, but any sizable steamer will work, or you can rig up a steamer using a large pot. Make sure that the makeshift rack sits an inch or so above the boiling water, and that the pot has a lid.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 whole fish, like black sea bass or red snapper, about 1 1/2 pounds each, gutted and scaled by a fishmonger
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons Chinese sweet wine or dry sherry
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons grated ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chile bean paste, available in a Chinese grocery
1 teaspoon sesame oil, more for dressing
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 bunches scallions, cut in 3-inch lengths
1 bunch cilantro

Steps:

  • Rinse fish with cold water, pat dry and season inside and out with salt and pepper. Place both fish on a heatproof platter or shallow baking dish. (Dish must be slightly smaller than inside dimensions of steamer.)
  • Whisk together sweet wine, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, chile bean paste and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Pour over fish and let marinate, turning once, for 30 minutes.
  • Set up steamer with 3 inches of water in the bottom, then set rack 1 inch over water. Bring water to a rapid boil. Place fish, still on platter with marinade, on rack and cover with lid. (If using a bamboo steamer, cover top with a dish towel to retain steam.) Steam fish for 10 to 12 minutes, until just done. Flesh should look opaque, and there should be no pink at the bone when probed gently with a paring knife. Carefully remove platter from steamer.
  • Meanwhile, place a skillet or wok over high heat and add vegetable oil. When oil looks hazy, add scallions and toss to coat. Sprinkle lightly with salt and stir-fry until slightly charred, about 2 minutes.
  • To serve, scatter scallions over fish and top liberally with cilantro sprigs. (To make a tastier cilantro garnish, dress sprigs lightly with sesame oil and salt.) Using 2 forks, serve top fillet from carcass. Remove and discard skeleton to reveal lower fillet. Give each diner some fish, scallions and cilantro. Spoon pan juices over each serving.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound halibut fillet
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt or kosher salt
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
3 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
¼ cup lightly packed fresh cilantro sprigs

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.

STEAMED FISH WITH SEASONED SOY SAUCE AND SCALLION



Steamed Fish with Seasoned Soy Sauce and Scallion image

This preparation of steamed fish is a classic dish cooked at home for family gatherings, special occasions and Lunar New Year. It is often included as one of the courses at any Chinese banquet, regardless of the occasion. This dish symbolizes good fortune and abundance, as the Chinese word for "fish" sounds very similar to the Chinese word for "abundance." When I was growing up, my mom often made this dish for Lunar New Year celebratory meals. The traditional flavors of this recipe invoke those childhood memories and are sure to bring back nostalgia for anyone who grew up in a Chinese household.

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
1 cup chicken stock
7 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
1 quarter-sized slice peeled ginger
1 quarter-sized piece dried tangerine peel
One 3-pound whole fish, such as sea bass or snapper, cleaned (see Cook's Note)
Two 2-by-1-inch slices peeled ginger, cut into julienne strips
5 stalks scallion, cut into julienne strips
1/3 cup canola oil
5 sprigs fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Add the Shaoxing wine to a small pot and heat over high heat until it starts to boil. Add the chicken stock, light soy sauce, sugar, ginger and dried tangerine peel to the pot. Bring to a simmer and stir to dissolve the sugar. Remove the pot from the heat and allow it to steep for 1 hour. Remove the ginger and dried tangerine peel. Set aside the sauce until ready to use.
  • For the steamed fish: Pat the fish dry and put on a heatproof plate. Scatter the ginger over the fish.
  • Put a steamer rack in a pot wide enough to fit the fish. Add enough water to come almost up to the rack, place over high heat and bring to a full boil. Put the plate with the fish on the rack, cover the pot, lower the heat slightly and steam until the flesh flakes off the bones, 18 to 20 minutes. Pour off any liquid that has accumulated on the plate. Scatter the scallions over the fish.
  • Heat the canola oil in a small pot until smoking. Slowly and carefully pour the hot oil over the scallions on the fish; the hot oil will release the aromas and flavors from the scallions.
  • Bring the sauce to a simmer. Pour enough sauce around the fish to cover the bottom of the plate by 1/4 inch. Garnish with the cilantro sprigs on top of the fish. Serve immediately.

STEAMED FISH WITH GINGER AND SCALLIONS



Steamed Fish With Ginger and Scallions image

You can certainly make this fish in a bamboo steamer, but I have found it works well done in foil packets in the oven--and there's a bonus--nothing to wash.

Provided by Chef Kate

Categories     Halibut

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 fish fillets (halibut or a white fleshed fish of your choice)
salt and pepper

  • Place each fish fillet on a large piece of aluminum foil.

  • While the fish is cooking, make the sauce by combing the ingredients and stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Open one foil packet and make sure fish is coked through.

  • Drizzle the hot oil over the fish and serve, with extra sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, firm fish fillets for the best results.
