Ginger Steamed Fish
Ingredients Fish
6 5-ounce portions striped bass, halibut or any flaky white fish
6 1/4-inch-thick slices peeled fresh ginger
Sauce
1/4 cup minced peeled fresh ginger
1/4 cup chopped garlic
1/4 cup sesame seeds
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, or canola oil
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
~1/4 cup wine
2-3 scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish
Preparation
1.To prepare fish: Bring 1 to 2 inches of water to a boil in a pot and set mugs upside down in a large pot and resting a large heatproof plate on top. Put a heatproof plate in each of the steamer baskets. Place 3 portions of fish on each plate with a slice of fresh ginger on top. Cover and set over the boiling water. Steam the fish for 7 minutes per inch of thickness.
2.To prepare sauce: Meanwhile, combine minced ginger, garlic and sesame seeds in a small bowl. Heat grapeseed (or canola) oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ginger mixture and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add sesame oil; allow the mixture to get hot. Add soy sauce (be careful, it will splatter a bit) and cook for 1 minute more. Add some wine to the sauce.
3.Transfer the fish to a deep platter. Discard the ginger slices. Pour the sauce over the fish and garnish with scallions
