The other day I needed something to eat for supper, and this simple idea came to me. Any ingredients that sound strange to you can probably be found in your local Asian grocer or most large mega marts.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 fillet, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces fish (cod, whitefish, etc., any white meat fish)
1 plastic sandwich bag
3 tablespoons shoyu (soy sauce)
2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet cooking wine)
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, minced
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 -2 green onion, chopped
1 teaspoon sriracha sauce

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except green onion right in the sandwich bag, including the fillet.
  • Seal the bag and shake well to distribute the mixture.
  • Marinate at least 30 minutes, then turn fish over and marinate for 30 more minutes. You could also marinate it overnight for a stronger flavor.
  • Reserving marinade, place fish in steamer and set timer to 15 minutes. If you don't have a steamer, you can use a steaming rack and a pot or wok.
  • While the fish cooks, place marinade in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
  • Add sriracha sauce and stir well.
  • Reduce sauce to thicken, about 5-10 minutes.
  • When fish is finished, put on plate and pour reduced marinade over fish.
  • Garnish with the green onion and serve hot.
  • If you can have rice, it will go well with that.

STEAMED WHITEFISH

Lake Superior whitefish is the pride of the Great Lakes. This simple recipe comes from the Mississippi Valley chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947. If you want to bump up the flavor a little, use lemon pepper in place of pepper. Cooking time is approximate.
