Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (such as cod or halibut)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger, julienned
- 2 pieces Green onions, julienned
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece Red chili, sliced (optional)
Instructions
Season the fish fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Prepare a steamer setup by filling a pot with about 2 inches of water and bringing it to a simmer. Ensure the steaming basket or plate fits snugly over the pot without touching the water.
Place the fish fillets in the steaming basket or a heatproof plate that fits into the steamer. Make sure they are not overlapping.
Evenly sprinkle the julienned ginger over the fish fillets.
Cover the pot and steam the fish over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, lemon juice, and sesame oil.
Once the fish is done steaming, carefully remove it from the steamer.
Drizzle the soy sauce mixture over the fish fillets.
Garnish with julienned green onions, chopped cilantro, and sliced red chili (if using) for added flavor and color.
Serve the steamed fish immediately, ensuring each serving gets a bit of the toppings and sauce.
