Ingredients
Steamed Red Snapper
- Ingredients
- 1 pc fresh ginger (about 10 grams)
- 1 Organic orange
- 1 Red snapper fillet (about 900 grams, ready to cook)
- 4 scallions
- 1 garlic clove
- 4 Tbsps soy sauce
- 1 tsp Raw cane sugar
- 2 Tbsps Canola oil
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
Peel ginger root and finely chop.
Rinse orange in hot water and wipe dry. Remove zest with a peeler, then cut into fine strips. Juice orange.
Rinse the fish inside and out under cold water. Pat dry and slit the skin with a sharp knife.
Cut out 2 sheets of aluminum foil (about 50 x 30 cm) (approximately 20 x 12 inches), place on work surface and fold up edges. Place fish on each sheet.
Top fish with orange juice and zest and half of ginger. Place in a steamer basket and steam, covered, over a pot of boiling water for 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, rinse scallions, shake dry and cut into narrow strips. Peel the garlic and chop finely.
Combine scallions, garlic and remaining ginger in a bowl, then stir in soy sauce and sugar. Remove the fish from the steamer, place on a platter and sprinkle with scallion mixture.
Heat the canola and sesame oil in a small pot until very hot. Pour over the fish and serve immediately.

Healthy, because
In the USA, the "red snapper" is considered a good catch, and not only because of its delicate taste: the predatory fish also scores points for its boneless, very protein-rich and extremely low-fat meat.
Even smarter
Curiosity is understandable for the still relatively unknown Red Snapper, but scepticism is unnecessary: experts from the Federal Research Institute for Nutrition and Food in Karlsruhe have thoroughly tested the imports available from us - and found them to be good.
