AWESOME healthy, easy fish recipe


Quote  |  Reply

I don't know about you all, but I cook dinner for myself usually and so its a waste to prepare a big three-couse meal.  Plus, I'm not gonna make 6 servings and eat it the next 5 days for lunch, b/c I get sick of things easily.  Anyhow, I made this recipe last night, using 1 filet of salmon and just making a bit less of the sauce and it was like 5 seconds to prep it, and then baked for about 15 mins.  (I left out the sesame oil b/c I didn't have any, grated the ginger, and used brown sugar rather than regular)  Results? EXTREMLY tasty, healthy, and almost no clean-up.  I simply had to share:

Steamed Fish with Scallions and Ginger SELF | July 2008

by Anita Lo

Yield: Makes 8 servings

2 whole fish (about 2 pounds each, such as black sea bass or wild salmon), scaled, gutted, and scored
1/2 cup sliced scallions (green part only)
2 tablespoons fresh julienned ginger
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup peanut oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar

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.
