Rubbing the fillets with a seasoning paste of ginger, cilantro, scallions and soy produced deep flavor in this neutral fish. After steaming, we sprinkled the fillets with sliced scallions and serrano chili, then drizzled them with hot oil to bring out the flavors and aroma. Haddock and halibut—or any firm, thick white fish fillets—also worked. Because fillets vary in thickness, a general guide is to steam them for about 8 minutes per 1-inch thickness.
Tip
Don’t let the steaming water reach a boil. Gentle simmering water cooks the fish slowly and evenly, helping it stay moist.
