Scallion Oil Fish

This **Flavorful Steamed Yellow Fish** recipe is a delicious and aromatic dish that highlights the natural sweetness of fresh fish with a savory, tangy sauce. The yellow fish is expertly prepared with three cuts on each side to absorb maximum flavor, then gently steamed with ginger to enhance its delicate taste. A rich blend of sugar, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and white pepper creates a perfectly balanced sauce, poured over the fish multiple times for deep infusion. The finishing touch? A generous layer of fresh green onions, sizzled with smoking-hot oil to release their irresistible fragrance. The result is a tender, juicy fish with layers of umami and a hint of spice—simple yet unforgettable. Perfect for a healthy and satisfying meal!
