How to Make Steamed Fish With Ginger And Scallions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place each fish fillet (about 6 ounces each) on a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  3. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 2 tablespoons chopped scallions, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Divide the ginger-scallion mixture evenly among the four pieces of fish.
  5. Bring up the ends of each piece of foil and crimp tightly to seal, creating four individual foil packets.
  6. Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. While the fish is baking, prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
  8. Carefully open one foil packet to check if the fish is cooked through. If not, bake for a few more minutes.
  9. Once cooked, carefully transfer each fish fillet to an individual serving plate.
  10. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the warm sauce over each fillet.
  11. Garnish with julienned scallions and ginger. Drizzle with a teaspoon of sesame oil and serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.
