Ingredients

  • 4 ounces halibut filet or other fish filet try tilapia, cod, barramundi
  • 1 teaspoon rice wine white wine or sherry
  • dash of salt
  • 1 slice ginger minced
  • 1 scallion cut into 1 1/2" lengths
  • 1 teaspoon gluten-free soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle rice wine over fish; sprinkle with salt. Place minced ginger and a few pieces of scallion on top. Steam for about 10-15 minutes, or until just tender. Steaming time will depend on thickness of fish.
  2. When fish is just about done, heat sesame oil in small skillet until hot.
  3. Remove fish from steamer and remove ginger and scallion on top. Sprinkle soy sauce on top of fish and lay a few more pieces of scallion on top of fish. Pour hot sesame oil on top of fish (I do this in the sink in case of splattering).
