Ginger Scallion Steamed Fish (Easy Fillet)

Ingredients

• 2 fillets white fish fillet (cod, tilapia, or sea bass)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp fresh ginger, finely julienned
• 3 stalks scallions (green onions), thinly sliced

• 1.5 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the fish fillets dry and season lightly with salt. Place on a heatproof plate and sprinkle with Shaoxing wine (if using).

2. 2

   Arrange half the ginger and half the scallions over the fish. Bring the water to a steady simmer in a steamer, then steam the fish for 10–12 minutes, until just cooked through.

3. 3

   Carefully remove the plate. Top with the remaining ginger and scallions.

4. 4

   Heat the oil until shimmering, then carefully pour the hot oil over the fish to sizzle. Drizzle with soy sauce and serve immediately.
