Ginger Steamed Fish With Caper Dressing Food

STEAMED FISH WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Set a large bamboo or metal steamer basket over a skillet of simmering water over medium heat.
• Crush the ginger slices with the flat side of a knife. Place the garlic and half each of the ginger and scallions on a plate that will fit inside the steamer. Score the fish skin a few times with a knife; season with salt and pepper. Place the fish skin-side up on the plate, drizzle with 2 teaspoons sesame oil and sprinkle with the sugar. Put the plate in the steamer. Mix the soy sauce and rice wine and pour over the fish.
• Cover and steam the fish until just cooked through, 6 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness. Carefully remove the hot plate. Add the snow peas to the steamer, season with salt, cover and cook until bright green, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Transfer the fish to a platter, spoon the juices on top and sprinkle with the remaining scallions. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil and the peanut oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the remaining ginger and cook until it begins to brown. Pour the hot oil over the fish.

GINGER STEAMED FISH WITH CAPER DRESSING

Steps:

• 1. Add the peas to a pot with the rice, and water, and then prepare the rice according to the package directions, leave covered in the pan, and set aside.
• 2. THE CAPER DRESSING
• 3. Add the capers, butter, and olive oil in a frying pan, and cook over medium heat until the capers are crisp, about 4 minutes.
• 4. Remove from the heat, and then add the lemon juice, leave covered in the pan.
• 5. STEAMING THE FISH
• 6. Chef's Note: To steam fish, you will need a steaming basket or perforated container that sits in, or over, a pan filled with boiling water. The steam from the water rises up through the holes and cooks the food inside the container or basket. There are different types of steaming baskets and containers available, including bamboo steamers, saucepan steamer inserts and expanding steamer baskets. For this recipe I will be using a bamboo steamer.
• 7. Add the sliced ginger to the bottom of the steamer basket, and then place the fish filets on top of the ginger.
• 8. Place the sliced lemons on top of the fish.
• 9. Fill the pan that you will be using to steam the fish about 1/3 full of water, and bring to the boil.
• 10. Chef's Tip: It is important that the steamer basket fits neatly into the pan to ensure that the steam cannot escape from around the sides. It is also important that the water doesn't touch the bottom of the steamer basket or the food will sit in the water and be poached or boiled, not steamed.
• 11. Place the steaming basket over the boiling water and then cover tightly with the lid.
• 12. Chef's Note: As the steaming process continues, the sliced ginger will infuse excellent flavor into the fish from the bottom, and the lemon will add flavor to the top.
• 13. Remove the basket from the pan immediately.
• 14. Divide the cooked rice on two serving plates.
• 15. Add the filets over the mound of rice on each plate, and then drizzle with the caper sauce.
• 16. Serve immediately.
• 17. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

STEAMED FISH WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Pat halibut dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of fillet with salt. Scatter the ginger over the top of the fish and place onto a heatproof ceramic dish.
• Place into a bamboo steamer set over several inches of gently boiling water, and cover. Gently steam for 10 to 12 minutes.
• Pour accumulated water out of the dish and sprinkle the fillet with green onion. Drizzle both soy sauces over the surface of the fish.
• Heat peanut and sesame oils in a small skillet over medium-high heat until they begin to smoke. When the oil is hot, carefully pour on top of the halibut fillet. The very hot oil will cause the green onions and water on top of the fish to pop and spatter all over; be careful. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve immediately.

• Cover and steam for 7 minutes or until fish is cooked depending on how thick the fish is.
• Serve with vegetables & rice.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Place each fish fillet on a large piece of aluminum foil.
• Combine the smashed ginger, scallions, oil and salt and pepper and distribute the mixture among the four pieces of fish.
• Bring up the ends of each piece of foil and close up to form four loose pouches.
• Place the four pouches on a cookie sheet and place in the oven for about ten minutes.
• While the fish is cooking, make the sauce by combing the ingredients and stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
• Open one foil packet and make sure fish is coked through.
• If so, place each piece of fish on an individual serving plate on which you have pooled a tablespoon or two of the warm sauce and garnish with the julienned scallions and ginger.
• Drizzle the hot oil over the fish and serve, with extra sauce on the side.
