Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillet
- 2 tablespoons ginger
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 slice lemon
- 0.5 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the ingredients. Peel and julienne the ginger, finely mince the garlic, and slice the green onions diagonally. Set these aside.
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with freshly ground black pepper.
Arrange the fish fillets on a heatproof plate that fits inside your steamer. Sprinkle the julienned ginger and minced garlic over the fish.
In a small bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and water. Stir well and drizzle the mixture evenly over the fish fillets.
Fill a wok or deep pan with about 2 inches of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Place a steaming rack inside the wok.
Once the water is boiling, carefully place the plate with the fish onto the steaming rack. Cover the wok and steam the fish for about 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is steaming, chop the cilantro and prepare the lemon slice for garnishing.
When the fish is cooked, remove the plate from the steamer. Garnish with sliced green onions, fresh cilantro, and a lemon slice.
Serve immediately as a main dish, accompanied by steamed rice or a side of your choice.
