Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sherry, and sesame oil, and stir well.☞TESTER TIP: Once you begin cooking, this fish comes together very quickly. Have ready your sauce, tongs, and serving plate for the fish before you start cooking.
- Fill the base of a steamer pan or a wok with about 4 inches (10 cm) of water. Place the steamer basket over the water.
- Arrange the fish, skin-side down, on a plate that will fit inside the steamer. (If you have more than 1 piece of fish, leave a little space between them.) Lightly season the fish with the salt and then scatter the ginger over the fish.
- Place the plate in position inside the basket or on the rack, and bring the steaming water to a rolling boil over high heat.
- When the steam is flowing well, adjust the heat to maintain an even flow, and cover the steamer basket with its lid. Cook until the fish is opaque throughout when checked at the thickest part, 6 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Turn off the heat and leave the fish in the steamer.
- In a small pan or skillet over medium-high heat, warm the vegetable oil until it is hot but not smoking, about 1 minute.
- Carefully transfer the fish to a platter, leaving any liquid behind. Quickly pour the soy sauce mixture over the ginger-covered fish, and scatter the scallion on top of the ginger. Slowly drizzle the hot oil over the top of the fish. Serve right away.

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:
- Discard tough leaves and woody base of the lemongrass. Thinly slice the tender portion of the lemongrass stem.
- In the base of a steamer, combine lemongrass, orange juice, lime juice and ginger; bring to a boil.

- Turn up the heat to high and cook juices uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes or until it becomes sauce, reduced by about half (it should have the consistency of syrup).
