GINGER & SOY FISH, a 10 minute dish

Edited 14/6

A SIMPLE, HEALTHY FISH DISH 


Any white fish will do, but salmon also works well.  You need a pot of boiling water and a bamboo steamer or a metal fan steamer. If that seems too much bother, the fish can also be cooked, covered, in a moderate oven but will have a drier texture.


Serves: 1
Cost: min £2

Ingred:
1 fillet of white fish or salmon
1 tbsp dry sherry
1/2 tbsp low salt soy sauce
1/2 tsp grated ginger
1/2 tsp grated garlic
2-3 slices of ginger
2-3 slices garlic
spring onions
1 tbsp groundnut or other veg oil (not olive)  (opt)

Method;
1.  Pat fish dry.
2.  Mix the sherry, soy sauce, ginger and garlic and roll the fish in it.  Place on an ovenproof plate.  Layer the ginger and garlic slices on top and pour over the sherry-soy mix.  Place in the steamer.  Cover.
3.  Steam for 6-10 minutes or until  done (what it is cooked in will make a difference to the cooking time).
4.  (Oven-baked)  Wrap the fish in two layers of tinfoil or place in a covered baking tray.  Bake in a moderate oven for 8-10 minutes or until done. 
5. (Opt) When the fish is done, heat the groundnut oil in a saucepan until smoking hot and pour over the fish.  The fish should sizzle.  Serve.  
6.  Anyone with weight, cholesterol issues or blood-pressure issues should avoid the sauce and oil.  
6.  Garnish with thinly sliced spring onions.
7.  Serve with steamed vegetables.
