Steamed Cod Heaped with Scallions and
Ginger
In Denmark, the dish for luck is boiled cod. I thought that this steamed
fish recipe was pretty close to that idea.
|
2 pounds cod fish
1 tsp. sea salt
2 Tb. mashed ginger
1 1/2 Tb. shoyu soy sauce
2 Tb. mirin
1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
8 scallions, finely minced
1 Tb. sesame oil |
|
Rinse the fish with cold water and wipe
dry. Make diagonal slashes on each side of the fish and rub it all over
with the salt. Use about one third of the ginger mash to stuff into the
slashes in the fish. Place the remainder of the ginger into a bowl with
the shoyu, mirin, and oil. Mix together well, pour over the fish along
with the scallions, and let marinate for about ten minutes. Steam for
approximately ten minutes per inch of thickness of the fish. When the
fish is cooked, heat a little bit of sesame oil in a pan and drizzle
this over the fish, as steaming tends to give the fish a dull finish.
Place gently on a serving dish. This is tasty served hot or cold.
