Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces sea bass fillets
- 1 cup sake
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger
- 4 stalks green onions
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the sea bass fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Lightly season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper.
Peel and julienne the fresh ginger into thin matchstick-like strips. Thinly slice the green onions on a diagonal, separating the white and green parts.
In a deep skillet or a wide saucepan with a lid, pour in the sake and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Place a steaming rack or a heatproof plate inside the skillet, ensuring it is elevated above the liquid. Arrange the sea bass fillets on the rack or plate in a single layer.
Top the sea bass with the julienned ginger and the white parts of the green onions. Cover the skillet tightly with the lid and steam the fish for 8-10 minutes or until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully transfer the steamed sea bass to a serving platter. Drizzle the fillets with a mixture of soy sauce and sesame oil.
Garnish with the green parts of the green onions for a fresh pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
