Number Of Ingredients 14

Fine sea salt
12 heads baby bok choy (about 2 pounds), roots trimmed, leaves separated and cleaned
1 tablespoon finely diced ginger
2 tablespoons shallots, finely diced
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
6 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice
Pinch of cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 seven-ounce grouper fillets
Freshly ground white pepper
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Steps:

  • Over high heat, bring a large stockpot filled with salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath, and set aside. Add bok choy to the boiling water. Blanch until just tender, about 1 1/2 minutes. Immediately transfer bok choy to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain, and set aside.
  • Place ginger and shallots in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk in oyster sauce and vinegar. Whisk in 4 tablespoons canola oil, soy sauce, lime juice, and cayenne pepper. Set aside. (Up to this point, the recipe can be prepared 2 hours ahead.)
  • In a large saucepan over high heat, bring 1/4 cup water to a boil. Whisk in butter, and lower the heat to medium-high. Season bok choy with salt and pepper, and add it to the pan. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Divide the remaining 2 tablespoons canola oil between two 10-inch nonstick skillets. Place skillets over high heat until oil is just smoking. Season both sides of the grouper with salt and pepper. Place two grouper fillets in each skillet, and saute until the fish is browned on the bottom side, about 3 minutes. Turn, and saute about 3 minutes more, until a metal cake tester inserted into the center of the fillets feels hot when touched to your lip. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bok choy from the saucepan, and arrange it in the center of four dinner plates. Top with grouper. Whisk sauce lightly, and spoon it around the bok choy. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sauce, and serve immediately.

I'm going to try this recipe with cod instead of grouper. I think it will be just as good.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish turned out bland. I think I'll try it again with a different recipe.

I'm allergic to soy sauce, so I used tamari instead. It worked out great!

I added some chopped red bell pepper to the stir-fry and it gave it a nice pop of color and flavor.

I'm not a big fan of fish, but this dish was surprisingly good. The grouper was cooked perfectly and the flavors were well-balanced.

The fish was a little overcooked for my taste, but the bok choy and vinaigrette were delicious.

This is one of my favorite fish recipes. It's easy to make and always turns out delicious.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The grouper is mild and flaky, the bok choy is slightly bitter, and the soy-ginger vinaigrette is sweet and tangy. It all comes together perfectly.

This grouper dish was a hit with my family! The fish was cooked perfectly and the bok choy was tender and flavorful. The soy-ginger vinaigrette was the perfect finishing touch, adding a delicious umami flavor.
