A delightful and flavorful sea bass recipe with a citrus-soy glaze, perfect for a special dinner.
Combine the soy sauce, juice from the orange, grated ginger, and cayenne pepper in a glass baking dish.
Use a whisk to ensure the marinade ingredients are well blended.
Place the sea bass fillets in the marinade, turning to coat evenly.
Ensure the fillets are fully submerged for maximum flavor.
Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, turning the fillets occasionally.
Marinating for longer enhances the flavor, but avoid exceeding 4 hours.
Place a steamer rack in a large skillet and add water below the rack.
Ensure the water level is below the rack to prevent boiling the fish.
Arrange the marinated sea bass fillets on the steamer rack.
Leave space between the fillets for even cooking.
Pour the marinade into the skillet below the rack and bring to a boil.
Boiling the marinade releases its aroma and enhances the steaming process.
Cover the skillet and steam the fish until just opaque in the center, about 8 minutes.
Check the fish for doneness by gently flaking it with a fork.
Transfer the cooked fish to serving plates.
Use a spatula to handle the fish carefully to maintain its shape.
Remove the steamer rack and boil the marinade until it thickens slightly, about 6 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent the marinade from burning.
Drizzle the reduced marinade over the fish and garnish with sliced green onions.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and presentation.
