For an even more intense ginger flavor, try adding a few thin slices of ginger to the bottom of the dish before placing the fish on top. If you don't have a bamboo steamer, you can use a metal steamer basket set inside a pot with a tight-fitting lid. Just be sure the water level is below the bottom of the basket. Experiment with other types of fish, such as sea bass, cod, or snapper. Adjust the steaming time accordingly. A splash of Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry added to the soy sauce mixture can enhance the flavor. Serve immediately with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.

01 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Prepare the Fish: Pat the halibut fillet dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of the fillet with salt. Scatter the minced ginger evenly over the top of the fish. Place the fish onto a heatproof ceramic dish or a steaming plate. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View 11 mins Steam the Fish: Place the dish with the fish into a bamboo steamer set over several inches of gently boiling water. Ensure the water does not touch the bottom of the dish. Cover the steamer tightly. Gently steam the fish for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The exact steaming time will depend on the thickness of the fillet. (10-12 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Prepare the Sauce and Garnish: While the fish is steaming, prepare the green onions and cilantro. Once the fish is cooked, carefully remove the dish from the steamer. Pour off any accumulated water from the dish. Sprinkle the steamed halibut fillet with the thinly sliced green onion. Drizzle both the dark soy sauce and the light soy sauce evenly over the surface of the fish. (5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View 3 mins Finish with Hot Oil: Heat the peanut oil and toasted sesame oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering and just begins to smoke. This step is crucial for releasing the aromatics. Carefully pour the hot oil evenly over the top of the halibut fillet. The very hot oil will cause the green onions and soy sauce to sizzle and pop; exercise caution. Garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs and serve immediately. (3 minutes)
