Ingredients
- 4 pieces of fish fillets like cod, tilapia, or salmon - feel free to sub in any of your favorite fish!
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil can use olive or canola oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh ginger minced (for a milder taste, use less)
- 5 stalks of scallions chopped (white and green parts separated)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce low sodium preferred
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil optional, but it’s a game changer
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep Your Fish: Pat your fish fillets dry with paper towels. This step helps in getting that beautiful sear! Lightly season with salt and pepper.
- Heat It Up: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. We want it nice and hot!
- Cook the Fish: Once the oil is hot, gently place your fillets in the skillet skin-side down (if they have skin). Cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side. They should be cooked through and flaky. Remove the fish and set them aside!
- Sauté the Flavors: In the same pan without cleaning it, toss in the minced ginger and the white part of the scallions. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant—oh, the aroma!
- Mix It All: Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to the pan, stirring well to combine. Then, add the green parts of the scallions. Cook for about 1 minute until everything is mixed together beautifully.
- Plate It Up: Put your fish fillets on a platter and drizzle the ginger-scallion sauce all over them. Garnish with extra scallions if you feel fancy!
