Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (approximately 6 oz each) sea bass fillets
- 1 cup sake
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons (julienned) fresh ginger
- 4 stalks (cut into 2-inch lengths) scallions
- 2 cloves (thinly sliced) garlic
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
Pat the sea bass fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper. Set aside.
In a shallow, wide-bottomed pan with a lid, combine sake, soy sauce, sesame oil, julienned ginger, sliced garlic, and scallions. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Place the seasoned sea bass fillets into the pan, ensuring they do not overlap. Spoon some of the hot liquid over the top of the fillets.
Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and lower the heat to medium-low. Steam the fish for 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the sea bass from the pan and transfer to serving plates.
Optionally, strain the remaining liquid and drizzle a small amount over the fish for added flavor. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish. Complement the dish with steamed rice or a light salad.
