Time 25m

Yield 2

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.

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.

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
1/2 inch fresh ginger, peeled and smashed
3 scallions, sliced and smashed
1 cup soy sauce
1 1/4 cups chicken stock, hot, preferably homemade and unsalted
1/4 cup sugar
fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons scallions, julienned
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled, julienned
1 ounce sesame oil, heated

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Place each fish fillet on a large piece of aluminum foil.
  • Combine the smashed ginger, scallions, oil and salt and pepper and distribute the mixture among the four pieces of fish.
  • Bring up the ends of each piece of foil and close up to form four loose pouches.
  • Place the four pouches on a cookie sheet and place in the oven for about ten minutes.
  • 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.
  • If so, place each piece of fish on an individual serving plate on which you have pooled a tablespoon or two of the warm sauce and garnish with the julienned scallions and ginger.
  • Drizzle the hot oil over the fish and serve, with extra sauce on the side.

Categories     Dinner     Seafood     Fish     Bass     Snapper     Ginger     Green Onion/Scallion     Soy Sauce     Wine     Lunar New Year     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Steam     Healthy

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 whole fish, such as striped bass, snapper, or rock fish (about 1½ pounds), scaled and cleaned (ask the fishmonger to do this)
1 to 2 teaspoons kosher salt
6 stalks green onions, cut into (3-inch) segments, divided
½ cup finely julienned fresh ginger, divided
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine or dry Marsala wine
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Roughly chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Set up your steamer over high heat.
  • Score the fish, gently making three to four cuts along the body of the fish on both sides, starting from the dorsal fin to the belly. The cuts should be deep enough that you can stuff them with some ginger and onions. Sprinkle the salt in the slits on both sides to help flavor the fish. Gently place half of the onions and ¼ cup of the ginger into the slits.
  • In a small pot over medium-high heat, combine the soy sauce, wine, oil, and the remaining onions and ¼ cup ginger. Heat to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Keep the sauce over low heat while the fish steams.
  • Place the fish in a steam-proof dish, such as a pie plate, that fits in your steamer. The dish should be deep enough to let the sauce pool at the bottom. Steam the fish for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the fish. To check for doneness, turn off the heat. Carefully lift the lid of the steamer. Using the tip of a sharp knife, gently probe the flesh at the meatiest part of the fish. If it is opaque and flakes, then the fish is done steaming. If it looks underdone, then close the lid and steam over high heat for up to 5 minutes more.
  • Remove the dish from the steamer and drizzle the soy sauce mixture over the fish. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with rice as a part of a meal.

Tips:

  • To ensure the fish fillets are cooked evenly, slice them into uniform thickness.
  • Pat the fish fillets dry before cooking to prevent excess moisture from diluting the flavors.
  • Use a steaming method that allows the fish to cook gently, such as a bamboo steamer or a steamer basket placed over a pot of boiling water.
  • Add aromatics like scallions, ginger, and garlic to the steaming liquid to infuse the fish with flavor.
  • Bok choy is a great vegetable to pair with steamed fish, as it cooks quickly and absorbs the delicious flavors of the sauce.
  • Serve the steamed fish and bok choy immediately, garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro or scallions, to enjoy the best flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Steaming is an excellent cooking method for fish, as it preserves its delicate texture and allows the natural flavors to shine through. By following the tips mentioned above, you can create a delicious and healthy steamed fish dish that your whole family will enjoy.
