Time: 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS

Yield: 4 servings

  • 1 ea. whole Black Sea Bass, about 2 lbs. Spanish Sea Bass, Daurade, Sablefish also work
  • 6 ea. Carabinero Prawns, peeled
  • 5 ea. scallions, tops, and bottoms, sliced thin, kept separate
  • 5 ea. scallions, tops, and bottoms, sliced thin, kept separate
  • 3 tbsp fresh ginger, chiffonade
  • 10 ea. fresh cilantro sprigs
  • 1/3 C canola oil
  • 1/4 C sugar
  • 1/4 C stock, fish or chicken
  • 1/3 C soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper

PREPARATION

Step 1

Prepare a bamboo steamer over boiling water.

Step 2

Trim off any fins on the bass, remove any scales, and pat dry with a paper towel. Season lightly with salt and steam black bass for 6 minutes.

Step 3

Season the prawns and place them in a steamer for additional 3 minutes.

Step 4

Check the doneness of the bass with a fork by seeing if the flesh pulls away. The meat should be bright, white, and flaky.

Step 5

While the fish is steaming, heat a wok or sauté pan and add canola oil. Add the garlic, scallion bottoms, and 1/2 of the sliced ginger. Cook for 2 minutes.

Step 6

Add soy sauce, sugar, stock, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat until it becomes a glaze. Reserve warm.

Step 7

Carefully arrange cooked bass and carabineros on a serving dish. Stay true to tradition and keep them in odd numbers.

Step 8

Spoon soy glaze over the fish. Garnish with cilantro, scallion greens, and remaining ginger.

Step 9

Heat 3 Tbsp. of canola oil until it just begins to smoke. Carefully pour over sea bass.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy!
