Ingredients

  • 1 (1-pound) whole sea bass, scaled, gutted, and scored with a sharp knife down to the bone
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 or 3 scallions, cut diagonally into rings to yield 1/4 cup
  • 1 tablespoon finely julienned ginger
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • Dash sesame oil
  • Pinch sugar

Method

  • Put the fish in a shallow heatproof dish, such as a large baking pan.
  • Season lightly with salt and pepper, inside and out.
  • Disperse the scallions and ginger on top, underneath, and inside the fish.
  • Combine the soy sauce, peanut oil, sesame oil, and sugar in a bowl.
  • Pour the mixture over the fish.
  • Set a roasting rack in a large roasting pan.
  • Fill the pan with water that comes up below the rack.
  • Set the pan over 2 burners and bring the water to a boil.
  • Set the baking dish with the fish on the rack, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cover the roasting pan tightly with foil.
  • Steam the fish until a small knife or skewer can be easily inserted into the thickest part and the fillet comes off the bone fairly easily, 6 to 7 minutes.
