chinese fish

This Chinese oven steamed fish is easy to prepare and delicately flavored. A tasty and impressive main.

Chinese Oven Steamed Fish

lb sea bream (700 grams, approx,

green onions ((spring onions))

garlic

in ginger ((approx))

soy sauce

tbsp sesame oil

tbsp rice vinegar

Chinese oven steamed fish

Preheat the oven to 400F/200C.

Trim the ends off the spring onions (both stem and dark green part) and peel off any rough outer layer. Cut them in to roughly 2-3 inch (5-7cm) pieces and slice them in half lengthwise. Cut the ginger in to thin slices and peel and slice the garlic.

Line a baking dish big enough to hold the fish with a piece of foil that is big enough to wrap the fish with a bit of extra to fold together. Put roughly 1 onions-worth in a layer at the bottom of foil ad top with a couple slices of both garlic and ginger (see pictures above for this and next step).

Make two cuts into either side of the fish then rest it on top of the onion, garlic and ginger slices. Put a couple more pieces of onion, ginger and garlic in the cavity then cut the last of the garlic and ginger in to smaller pieces to fit in the cut on the side of the fish. (Alternatively, just lay on top.) You should still have around 1 onion left.

Mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil and rice vinegar and drizzle over the fish. Fold the foil over the fish and roll the edges together to seal up the packet.

Place in the oven for around 25 minutes, or a little longer depending on the size and thickness of the fish, until the fish is cooked through. Serve topped with the remaining onion.

Chinese Steamed Cod Fish with Ginger Scallion Sauce

Cod fish fillets (boneless/skinless at about 1-inch thick)

½ tsp coarse sea salt

tbsp coconut aminos (or 1 tbsp gluten free tamari)

tsp toasted sesame oil

tbsp finely chopped ginger

scallions

Fresno

tbsp avocado oil

Slice the cod fillet into two equal weight pieces, ½ lb each fillet. Pat dry with a paper towel.

Fold one piece of the parchment paper in half and place 1 fish fillet in the center and closer to the seam. Repeat with the other half of the fish.

Season each filet with ¼ tsp coarse salt, 1 tbsp coconut aminos, and 1 tsp toasted sesame oil.

To make a paper pouch:  Fold the paper over so the two ends meet, enclosing the food. Beginning at either end of the center crease, make small, overlapping diagonal folds around the filling, pleating it all around to make a semicircular airtight package that looks like a half-moon shape calzone. Seal the packet tight. You might need to twist and fold the end tip to secure the envelope.

If use air fryer: place 1 packet inside of the basket. Lightly press the paper pouch down so it won’t get burnt.  Air fry at 300F for 15 minutes or until the fish is soft and flaky. Test with a skewer, if it goes in easily, the fish is done. If not, air fry for 5 additional minutes. If your fish is thinner than 1-inch, reduce the cook time by 5 minutes.

If use oven: Place both packets over a large sheet pan. Bake at 400F for 15-20 minutes or until the fish is buttery soft. The exact bake time will depend on the thickness of the fish fillets and type of fish.

In the meantime, finely chop ginger, scallions, and chili peppers. Divide them into 2 equal piles.

When the fish is about 5 minutes away from ready, in a heavy bottom saucepan, heat up the avocado oil over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. Cover the saucepan with a lid but leave a small gap open to allow air to come-in.

Carefully remove the fish pouch. Let cool for 3 minutes before using a kitchen scissors to cut open the packet (be careful of the hot steam). Add the aromatics - ginger, scallions, and chilies - on top of the fillets and season with a pinch of salt.

Carefully pour half amount of the hot oil over each fillet and the aromatics on top. Serve hot and immediately.
