Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or snapper)
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger
• 3 cloves garlic
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 stalks green onions (sliced thinly)
• 1 piece red chili (optional, sliced thinly)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons neutral oil (e.g., canola or vegetable oil)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and lime juice. Set the sauce aside.

In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until dissolved to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of neutral oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Place the seasoned fish fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fish from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the grated ginger and minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the prepared soy sauce mixture to the skillet and bring it to a simmer.

Step 9

Stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 10

Return the cooked fish fillets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them to coat.

Step 11

Garnish with sliced green onions and optional red chili slices for heat.

Step 12

Serve the ginger fish hot over steamed rice or alongside sautéed vegetables.
