Ginger steamed mangrove snapper
This was last nights dinner. I used mangrove snapper that I caught out in the Gulf a few weeks ago. Normally I use red snapper but any firm white fleshed fish will do. I also double up on the sherry.
Ingredients
fish fillets
fresh ginger, cut into slivers, divided
garlic cloves , minced
scallions, cut into slivers
a few sprigs cilantro
salt
black pepper
1 tsp sherry
2 tbs low-sodium soy sauce
3 tbs olive oil
Preparation
Rub fish thoroughly with salt and black pepper. Pour sherry over fish, sprinkle garlic, and 1/2 of the ginger slivers on top.
Place fish in a steamer and steam for 15 minutes. Remove, place on plate and top with scallions, cilantro, and remaining ginger.
Heat olive oil in a sauce pan until it starts to sizzle. Pour over top of fish.
Add soy sauce and serve. Edit: I broke a glass plate once so now place the fish in a metal pan, pour the oil, then transfer to dinner plate.
Fillets

Instead of a ginger julienne I sliced thin sheets for a change of pace.

Bad picture I know. I used a small Lodge cast iron pot for heating the olive oil to a point where it was just short of beginning to smoke. For this meal I did not add the extra ginger.

That sounds really good! Are those braised onions on the plate between the fish and the potatoes?

Ohh, that sounds good, but no, just a couple of fingerling potatoes I tossed into the mix. There is some tarragon in the first pic that I forgot to mention.
