ULTRA-FAST FRESH FISH DINNER WITH SOY-SHERRY SAUCE

A quick and flavorful fish dish featuring fresh fillets steamed in a delicate soy and sherry marinade, accented with toasted ginger oil and fresh scallions. Perfect for a fast, light, and elegant meal.

πŸ•’ Prep & Cook Time: 15 minutes

🍽️ Servings: 2-3

Ingredients

  • 450 g fresh fish fillets (dorade, halibut, salmon, or similar)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp dry sherry (Fino or Shaoxing wine)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp ground chili
  • 1 small slice fresh ginger, cut into thin sticks
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or canola)
  • 2 scallions (or chives), finely sliced

Instructions

  1. Mix soy sauce, sherry, sesame oil, and ground chili in a bowl to create the marinade.
  2. Cut fish fillets into portions (e.g., halves or thirds).
  3. Fold parchment paper in half, crease edges to form a boat shape, and place each fish portion inside.
  4. Pour half of the marinade over each fish piece, then carefully seal the parchment paper to create a tight packet.
  5. Bake packets in a preheated oven at 200Β°C (390Β°F) for 10 minutes, allowing the fish to steam in its marinade.
  6. Meanwhile, heat oil in a small pan and fry the ginger sticks until lightly golden and aromatic. Remove ginger from oil, reserving the infused oil.
  7. Place fish packets on plates and carefully open to avoid hot steam.
  8. Drizzle each fish portion with the warm ginger-infused oil for a glossy finish.
  9. Sprinkle sliced scallions and fried ginger sticks over the fish.
  10. Serve immediately with steamed broccoli and a side of rice for a complete meal.

πŸ’‘ Tips

  • Use the freshest fish available for the best texture and flavor.
  • The parchment packets lock in moisture, keeping the fish tender and juicy.
  • Adjust chili to taste for desired heat level.
  • Ginger oil adds a beautiful aromatic touch and shine to the dish.
