Steamed Fish with Spring onions and Ginger

This aromatic steamed fish with spring onions and ginger is a wonderful example of how simple ingredients can create deep, sophisticated flavours. By sealing the fish in foil parcels, you ensure the flesh remains succulent and tender while absorbing the classic combination of salty soy, earthy ginger, and nutty sesame oil. It is a light yet satisfying dish that highlights the natural quality of the seafood without the need for heavy sauces.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe is naturally low in carbohydrates and packed with high-quality protein and essential omega-3 fatty acids. It is an excellent choice for a healthy midweek meal, offering a nutritious balance that fits perfectly into a mindful diet. Serve it alongside steamed leafy greens or a small portion of brown rice to soak up the fragrant, savoury juices.

Ingredients for Steamed Fish with Spring onions and Ginger

  • 2 whole fish (about 900g each, such as black sea bass or wild salmon), scaled, gutted, and scored

  • 80g sliced spring onions (green part only)

  • 2 tablespoons fresh julienned ginger

  • 120ml soy sauce

  • 60ml peanut oil

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 1/2 teaspoons sugar

How to make Steamed Fish with Spring onions and Ginger

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.
