Steamed Rockfish with Ginger and Scallions Recipe

 My local market had Rockfish on special  the other day, so took the opportunity to make one of my favorite dishes: Steamed Fish with Ginger and Scallions. I love this dish--it's light, flavorful and easy to make.

Ingredients

1 Rockfish or any white fish (in this meal I used a fillet instead of whole fish)
1 tablespoon of Sugar

2 dashes of Sherry

1 clove Garlic, minced
1 1-inch knob Ginger, julienned or shredded with a microplane
1/2 teaspoon Sesame oil
2 dashes of Soy Sauce

2 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced

Special equipment – Bamboo steamer

Preparation

Clean your fish and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Place Fish on heat-safe plate and sprinkle fish with Sugar and marinate in Sherry for 15 minutes. Add remaining ingredients to Soy to Fish. Fill wok with 2 to 3 inches of water and bring to boil. Carefully set your plate on the Steaner rack, then cover with the lid. Steam for 10 to 12 minutes, depending on how thick your Fish is in the middle. Check for doneness by poking the flesh with a spoon or chopstick at the thickest point; if the flesh flakes off easily, your Fish is done. 

Garnish with scallions and serve immediately.
