• 2 tablespoons Low‑sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil

   Pat the fish dry, make 2–3 diagonal slashes on each side, and place it on a heat‑proof plate that fits inside a steamer.

   Scatter the ginger slices and scallion pieces over and inside the fish, then drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil.

   Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil, set the steamer basket over it, and steam the fish for 10–12 minutes, until the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
