- If you are using a whole fish remove the gills.
- Pat the fish or possibly fish fillets dry with kitchen paper.
- Rub with the salt on both sides and then set aside for 30 min.
- This helps the flesh to hard up and draws out any excess moisture.
- Set up a steamer or possibly put a rack into a wok or possibly deep pan.
- Fill it with about 5cm of water.
- Bring the water to the boil then reduce the heat to a low simmer.
- Put the fish on a plate and scatter the ginger proportionately over the top.
- Put the plate of fish into the steamer or possibly onto the rack.
- Cover the pan tightly and gently steam the fish till it is just cooked.
- Flat fish will take about 5 min to cook.
- Thicker fish or possibly fillets such as sea bass will take 15 min.
- Remove the plate of cooked fish and sprinkle on the spring onions and light soy sauce.
- Heat the two oils together in a small saucepan.
- When they are warm add in the garlic slices and brown them.
- Pour the garlicoil mix over the top of the fish.
- Steaming fish is a great southern Chinese tradition and it is my favourite method of cooking fish. Steaming brings out the purest flavours of the fish. Because it is such a gentle cooking technique nothing masks the fresh taste of the fish that also remains moist and tender. Ask your fishmonger for the freshest possible fish.
