Ingredients

  • 2 8-ounce black cod fillets, with skin or not (or use halibut, rockfish, trout, black sea bass, pomfret or sole)
  • 4 1/4 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 4 1/4-inch-thick round slices of ginger plus 1 tablespoon finely julienned ginger, for garnish
  • 5 or 6 scallions, white and green parts separated and julienned
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Shaoxing or other white wine
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil

Method

  • Place each fillet in a separate microwave-safe zip-top bag, then place the bags skin (or skinned) side down next to each other on a microwave-safe plate.
  • In a small bowl, combine soy sauce and sesame oil; set aside.
  • Divide ginger coins and white part of scallions between the two bags.
  • Pour half the wine (3/4 teaspoon) into each bag.
  • Microwave until fish becomes opaque and flakes easily, 3 1/2 to 5 minutes in an 800-watt oven.
  • (Cooking times will vary depending on the kind of fish used and the power of the oven; for ovens over 800 watts, lower the power level accordingly.)
  • Transfer each fillet to a warm serving plate and drizzle each with half of the soy sauce mixture.
  • Garnish with scallion greens and julienned ginger.
  • In a small pan, heat peanut oil until sizzling.
  • Drizzle the hot oil over each fillet and serve immediately.
