How to Make Baked Fish In Soy Ginger Sauce
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place fish fillets (about 1 pound) in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish.
- Dissolve 1 low-sodium chicken bouillon cube in 1 cup of boiling water. Set aside.
- Clean 2 scallions and cut each in half lengthwise.
- Slice the green portions thinly and set aside. Cut the white portions into matchstick-size pieces and set aside.
- Slice 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger into matchstick-size pieces.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the bouillon mixture over the fish fillets.
- Sprinkle the fillets with a pinch of cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper (to taste).
- Top the fish with the sliced green scallions.
- Cover the baking dish and bake for 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- While the fish bakes, whisk together the remaining 3/4 cup bouillon mixture, 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the white scallion strips and ginger; cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the soy sauce mixture into the skillet. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 1 minute).
- Remove the fish from the oven and serve immediately, spooning the savory soy-ginger sauce over the top.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
