Sole Fillet Recipes Soy Sauce

Steamed Fish with Ginger, Scallion and Soy Sauce is a restaurant-quality dish you can easily cook at home in just 30 minutes. Serve this light yet flavorful dish with rice for a healthy and delicious meal.

You can come across this dish in a lot of cuisines, such as Chinese cuisine and Vietnamese cuisine. I think Vietnamese-style steamed fish is quite similar to Chinese steamed fish with soy sauce.

“. The fish is steamed with a savory sauce and different types of julienned aromatics and veggies which provide aromas, colors and textures. Once cooked, the fish is moist and juicy and lightly coated with the fragrant sauce.

Whole Fish With Soy And Citrus — Alison Roman

Personally, I like to use fish with white flesh and mildly sweet taste for this dish. My most favorite is grouper, which I’m using in the photos as well in the video.

Most Asian restaurants use whole fish since it looks impressive and tastes wonderful, but you will need a big steamer basket and a big plate to cook it. In addition, serving steamed whole fish can be difficult because of all the bones. Also, when serving just 2-3 people, a whole fish may be too much food.

Recipe at home. It cooks really quick and serving it is so easy. I can also freely choose a fish fillet as big or as small as I need. It’s up to you whether you’d like to use whole fish or fish fillets.

Soy Sauce Poached Fish

To make the fish taste and smell great, you will need ginger, garlic, onion, scallions, soy sauce and sesame oil. I also like to add julienned carrots for more colors.

Some Vietnamese cooks like to add thinly sliced dried shiitake mushrooms that have been rehydrated. The dried mushrooms will add an earthy note to the dish which does make it more interesting.

This steamed fish recipe is very quick and easy to cook at home. The most time-consuming part is slicing all the aromatics and veggies thinly. I strongly recommend watching the video to see how to julienne them (especially the scallions) quickly.

Fish In Dark Soya Sauce

A step that should not be skipped is briefly simmering the sauce before steaming. It really makes a difference by bringing out the aromas and flavors.

To steam the fish, you will need a steamer basket or a pot with a steamer insert. If you enjoy Asian food, it’s nice to have one in your kitchen to make not just steamed fish, but other dishes such as sticky rice and tofu.

I cover the fish during the first half of the steaming process to prevent water condensation drop from the lid onto the fish, which can dilute the flavors. The julienned aromatics and veggies are added during the second half so that once we finish, they will have a nice crisp-tender texture.

You can also steam a whole fish. Some things to note are you will need a big steamer basket and a big plate to cook it. In addition, serving steamed whole fish can be difficult due to all the bones. When cooking steamed fish at home, my family prefers fish fillets.

If you want the veggies to be on the soft side, you can scatter the ginger, onion and carrot over the fish right from Step 4.

Some Vietnamese cooks like to add thinly sliced dried shiitake mushrooms that have been rehydrated. It does add an interesting earthy note.

Simmering the sauce on the stove before pouring over the fish (Step 3) brings out more aromas and flavors. With that said, when I’m short on time, I sometimes skip this step and just drizzle the soy sauce directly over the fish. The result is still pretty tasty.

You may need to adjust cooking time depending on the thickness of your fish. It usually takes me about 12 minutes to steam a 1-inch thick (or slightly more) fish fillet.

Soy Steamed Fish With Scallions And Pistachio Recipe

This recipe with fish fillets is the easiest and most straightforward, and you can have a really nice fish dish for lunch/dinner in 30 minutes, including prep time. ♥

Most Chinese fish recipes call for whole fish, and some of the more popular fish we use when cooking Chinese dishes include red snapper, rock rish, pomfret, flounder/sole, sea bass/striped bass, tilapia, and cod.

If you are using cod, we usually use cod fillets/steaks only and not the whole fish since cod is a very large fish.

Steamed Fish With Scallions, Ginger And Soy Sauce (ca Hap Gung Hanh) — Vicky Pham

I prefer using whole fish when I can buy them still living and kicking in their tanks, which you should be able too if you have access to a big Chinese/Asian grocery stores.

In almost every store that I have visited in the US, most will happily clean and cut the fish for you if you ask, so you can save some prepping time.

You can still use whole fish, even when you can’t find live ones. Be sure to select very fresh fish. It should have clear eyes, shiny scales, and fresh smell of the sea, not fishy or stinky.

Steamed White Fish With Sugar And Soy Sauce

If your grocery store doesn’t sell live fish and the whole fish selection is not great, you can use fish fillet too. In fact, I develop this recipe around fish fillets, though you can definitely use this recipe to prepare whole fish too. :)

Please make sure that your fish fillet has firm flesh, and if possible, with skin on so you get to enjoy the contrast between crispy skin and tender flesh.

Feel free to use frozen fish fillets as those can oftentimes have higher quality than the ones already sitting for hours in the meat section.

Sprinkle each side of the fish fillet with salt and pepper, then dust with corn starch. If you don’t have corn starch and you are not aiming for a gluten-free dish, you can also simply dust the fish fillet with all-purpose flour.

Once you do all the steps above, your fish fillets are ready to be cooked. Here are the steps to follow to ensure crispy fried fish:

Always heat the pan first before adding oil. So what you want to do is to heat the pan until you start seeing thin smoke, then add oil and swirl to coat the pan, then proceed with cooking.

Almost 100% of the time, the fish fillets will initially stick to the pan. But, once the surface is cooked and becomes golden brown, the fillets will release itself naturally from the pan.

So have patience and don’t try to move your fish in its early stage. You should at least wait until the edges of the fillet are golden brown before you try nudging it.

This dish is all about enjoying the fish with as little seasoning ingredients as possible. And you can see that we use only garlic, ginger, and scallions for our herbs/aromatics.

Pan Seared Butter Soy Sauce Lemon Sole Fish🐟 Recipe By Linda L.

As for the sauce, it cannot get any simpler than this. You will only need three ingredients: water, light soy sauce, and sugar. For most people, that’s practically just soy sauce, right? :)

The best substitute is regular soy sauce, such as Kikkoman soy sauce, preferably reduced-sodium soy sauce as I find the regular version too salty.
