Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

1 pound white fish fillets
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
a 1 1/2-inch-long piece of fresh gingerroot, peeled and cut into julienne strips
1 large scallion, cut into julienne strips
1 teaspoon Oriental sesame oil
soy sauce to taste as an accompaniment
white-wine vinegar or to taste as an accompaniment

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Arrange the fillets in one layer in a microwave-safe baking dish, season them with salt and pepper, and cover the dish tightly with microwave-safe plastic wrap. Microwave the fish at high power (100%) for 3 minutes, or until it is opaque and just cooked through, remove the plastic wrap carefully, and pour off the liquid in the dish. Keep the fish warm, covered loosely.

    Step 2

    In a microwave-safe glass measure combine the vegetable oil, the gingerroot, and scallion and microwave the mixture at high power (100%) for 1 minute. Add the sesame oil, let the mixture cool slightly, and pour it over fish. Serve the fish sprinkled with soy sauce and the vinegar.
