Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 or 2 pounds whole, scaled fish like red snapper, rock cod, large flounder or black bass; or a thick chunk of striped or black bass
1 1/2-inch piece of ginger, peeled and cut in fine slivers
1 scallion, trimmed and sliced in thin strands lengthwise
2 cilantro sprigs, leaves only (optional)
3 tablespoons peanut oil
4 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Rinse the fish. Pat dry, then place in a heat-proof dish.
  • Set a rack in a pot and add water to a depth of 1 1/2 to 2 inches. (If you use a steamer, fill half the lower tier with water.) Bring to a boil. Set dish on rack (or on upper tier of steamer) and steam over high heat for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish.
  • Test for doneness by poking a chopstick or sharp knife through the thickest part of the fish. It should flake easily and look opaque all the way to the bone.
  • When fish is done, use a turkey baster or spoon to discard any accumulated liquid.
  • Sprinkle ginger, scallion and optional cilantro over fish. Heat oil in a small skillet. Add soy sauce and heat for a few seconds. Pour mixture over fish. Serve immediately.

I'm not a big fan of fish, but this recipe changed my mind. The fish is so tender and flavorful, and the sauce is to die for. I will definitely be making this again.
