Instructions
- Make parallel slashes about 1cm apart on the skin side of each fillet. Place some parchment paper in your steamer and lay the garlic, ginger and half the spring onions on top. Place the fish on top of the veg and pour over the soy, sherry and fish stock. Cover and cook for 6-8 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While you’re waiting for the fish to cook, heat both the oils in a pan until just smoking.
- Transfer the cooked fish to a serving plate along with all the liquid. Top the fillets with the remaining spring onions and red chilli.
- Carefully pour the smoking hot oil over the fish, spring onions and chilli. Serve immediately, with steamed Tenderstem broccoli and mangetout.
