By sealing the fish in foil parcels, you ensure the flesh remains succulent and tender while absorbing the classic combination of salty soy, earthy ginger, and nutty sesame oil. It is a light yet satisfying dish that highlights the natural quality of the seafood without the need for heavy sauces.

Ingredients for Steamed Fish with Spring onions and Ginger

  • 2 whole fish (about 900g each, such as black sea bass or wild salmon), scaled, gutted, and scored

  • 80g sliced spring onions (green part only)

  • 2 tablespoons fresh julienned ginger

  • 120ml soy sauce

  • 60ml peanut oil

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 1/2 teaspoons sugar

How to make Steamed Fish with Spring onions and Ginger

Position oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven. Heat oven to 450°. Place a long piece of aluminum foil on a large, shallow baking sheet (foil should be longer than sheet); repeat with another baking sheet; place 1 whole fish on each sheet. Season each fish on both sides with salt and pepper. Whisk remaining ingredients in a bowl; spoon over each fish. Seal foil loosely around each fish to create a somewhat roomy pocket. Bake 10 minutes per inch of thickness of fish at its thickest part (typically 20 to 25 minutes for a 2-inch-thick fish). Remove foil and serve with juices.
