About This Recipe

This steamed fish recipe is a delicious and healthy dish that highlights the natural flavors of fresh fish with aromatic scallions, ginger, and a savory sauce. The key to its delicate taste lies in proper preparation—removing the black membrane to eliminate any fishy smell and making diagonal cuts for even cooking. Stuffed with scallions and ginger, then steamed to perfection, the fish stays tender and moist. A drizzle of peanut oil enhances its richness, while scallion flowers and wolfberries add a pop of color and subtle sweetness. The finishing touch is a hot, flavorful sauce made with fish sauce and cooking wine, poured over the fish for an irresistible umami boost. Quick, easy, and packed with freshness, this steamed fish is perfect for a light yet satisfying meal.
