Broad Bean Sauce Yellow Croaker

This Microwave Yellow Croaker with Bean Paste is a quick and flavorful dish that brings out the delicate taste of fresh fish with minimal effort. The yellow croaker is marinated in a savory blend of bean paste, soy sauce, and aromatic ginger, scallions, and garlic, then cooked to perfection in the microwave for tender, flaky results. The method ensures the fish absorbs all the rich umami flavors while staying moist and succulent. A quick flip halfway through cooking guarantees even seasoning and a beautifully glazed finish. Perfect for busy weeknights, this dish is ready in minutes but tastes like it’s been slow-cooked for hours. Serve it garnished with fresh scallion threads for a vibrant, restaurant-quality meal at home. A must-try for seafood lovers looking for a fuss-free yet delicious recipe!
