GINGER AND SCALLION STEAMED FISH RECIPE

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces sodium intake while maintaining flavor.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is more affordable and has a neutral flavor.

whole fish

🥗Healthier: fillet of fish

💰Cheaper: frozen fish

Frozen fish can be more economical and convenient.

ginger

🥗Healthier: fresh ginger

💰Cheaper: ground ginger

Ground ginger is a less expensive alternative but has a different flavor profile.

Prepare the fish by cleaning and gutting it, then pat it dry with paper towels.

Slice ginger into thin strips and scallions into long pieces.

Place the fish on a heatproof plate and scatter ginger and scallions over the top.

Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over the fish, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Fill a steamer pot with water and bring it to a boil.

Once boiling, place the plate with the fish in the steamer basket.

Cover and steam the fish for about 10-15 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Remove the plate from the steamer carefully to avoid burns.

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Serve hot with steamed rice.
