Chinese-Style Steamed Seabass Fillet Recipe
A simple and healthy way to highlight the natural freshness of seabass.
Ingredients:
- 2 frozen seabass fillets (thawed)
- Fresh ginger slices
- Spring onions (scallions)
- Red chili strips (optional)
- Steamed fish soy sauce
- Hot cooking oil
- A pinch of sugar
Step 1: Prepare the Fillets
Place thawed seabass fillets on a plate. Add ginger slices and spring onions. Let rest for about 10 minutes to enhance aroma and remove fishiness.
Step 2: Steam the Fish
Replace with fresh ginger and spring onions. Once the steamer is boiling, steam the fillets for about 8 minutes (depending on thickness).
Step 3: Garnish
Remove excess liquid. Top with fresh spring onions and red chili strips for color and aroma.
Heat oil until hot and pour over the garnish to release fragrance.
Step 4: Add Sauce
Mix:
- 1 tablespoon steamed fish soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- A pinch of sugar
Pour evenly over the fish before serving.
The result is a light, fragrant dish that highlights the natural taste of seabass.
