Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons toasted-sesame oil
2 whole black bass (1 1/2 to 2 pounds each; 1 1/2 inch thick), scaled and gutted, gills removed
1 piece (2 inches) peeled fresh ginger, cut into matchsticks
5 scallions, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
2 cups water
1 large red onion, sliced 1/2 inch thick
1 large sweet potato, very thinly sliced, preferably on a mandoline
8 ounces Broccolini, trimmed, and halved lengthwise if thick

Steps:

  • Whisk together soy sauce and sesame oil in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Cut a few slits into the fish on both sides using a sharp paring knife. Transfer to dish; turn to coat.
  • Toss ginger with scallions; stuff some into each fish cavity. Spread remaining mixture on top of fish. Let stand, covered, spooning marinade over fish often, for 30 minutes.
  • Bring water to a boil in a large skillet or wok. Arrange red onion on bottom layer of a 12-inch bamboo steamer. Remove fish from marinade with ginger-scallion mixture still on top, and arrange side by side on onion; reserve marinade. Spread sweet potato and Broccolini on separate sides of the top layer.
  • Set stacked steamer in skillet. Steam, covered, until fish is cooked through and vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring marinade to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook until reduced by half. Strain through a fine sieve. Serve fish and vegetables with reduced sauce.
