Steamed Snapper with Sizzling Soy

Serves Yield: 12 Entrée Servings

Ingredients

Twelve 4-to 5-ounce red snapper fillets
1 tablespoon fine sea salt
2 teaspoons ground white pepper
2 tablespoons julienned ginger
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons peanut oil
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Kikkoman Preservative-Free Non-GMO Toasted Sesame Oil
3/4 cup Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Less Sodium Soy Sauce
1/4 cup paper thin garlic slices
1/2 cup thinly sliced (on the diagonal) red bell peppers
1/2 cup thinly sliced (on the diagonal) red or green jalapeños
1/2 cup thinly sliced (on the diagonal) scallions
1 cup cilantro leaves

Directions

Bring 2-to 3-inches of water to a boil in a large pot. Working in batches as needed, season the fillets with salt and pepper, arrange them in a steamer basket, and top each with about 1/2 teaspoon of ginger. Steam until just opaque, 6 to 8 minutes.

 

Meanwhile, combine the peanut and sesame oils in a small saucepan over medium heat until just beginning to smoke. Remove from the heat.

 

To serve: Arrange the steamed fillets on individual plates or on a large platter. Toss together the garlic, red bell peppers, jalapeños, scallions, and cilantro, and divide over the top. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the hot oil over each, followed by about 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce.
