1+ lb fillets from firm white fish like sea bass or cod, or l whole fish like turbot
1 tsp coarse sea salt or
plain salt
2 “ fresh ginger finely shredded
5-6 spring onions finely shredded
1 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp peanut, canola or corn oil
2 tsp sesame oil
fresh coriander sprigs, to garnish
5-6 spring onions finely shredded
1 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp peanut, canola or corn oil
2 tsp sesame oil
fresh coriander sprigs, to garnish
If
you are using a whole fish, remove the gills. Pat the fish or fish fillets dry
with kitchen paper. Rub with the salt on both sides and set aside 30 minutes.
This helps the flesh to firm up and draws out any excess moisture.
Set
up a steamer, or put a rack into a wok or deep pan, and fill it with 2” of
water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Put the fish on a heatproof
plate and scatter the ginger evenly over the top. Lower the plate of fish into
the steamer or on to the rack. Cover the pan tightly and gently steam the fish
until it is just cooked. Flat fish will take about 5 minutes to cook. Thicker
fish will take 12-14 minutes.
Remove
the plate of cooked fish from the pan and sprinkle with the spring onions and
the light and dark soy sauces. Heat the two oils together in a small pan. When
they are hot and smoking, pour the hot oil on top of the fish and garnish with
the coriander sprigs. Serve at once.
