Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (4-6 ounces each) Grouper fillets
- 2 tablespoons (julienned) Ginger
- 4 stalks (sliced into thin strips) Scallions
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
Season the grouper fillets with sea salt and black pepper on both sides. Set aside.
Prepare the steamer by bringing 2 cups of water to a simmer in a large pot or wok. Place a steamer basket or heat-safe plate inside.
Place the grouper fillets on a heat-safe plate that fits inside your steamer. Scatter the julienned ginger on top of the fillets.
Carefully place the plate with the fillets into the steamer. Cover with a lid and steam for 8-10 minutes, or until the grouper is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish steams, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the steamer carefully. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the fish and top with the sliced scallions.
In a small skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Pour the hot oil over the scallions and fish to release the aroma.
Serve immediately while hot, paired with steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice for a complete low-carb meal.
