Ingredients
- 3 Tbs. water
- 2 Tbs. soy sauce
- 1 Tbs. oyster sauce
- 1 Tbs. Asian sesame oil
- 1 tsp. corn or peanut oil
- 1/2 tsp. sugar
- 1/4 tsp. cornstarch
- Pinch of freshly ground white pepper
- 4 sea bass fillets, about 1 1/2 lb. total
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 Tbs. thinly sliced strips fresh ginger
- 3 Tbs. chopped fresh cilantro
- Steamed rice for serving
Instructions
- <b>Make the sauce</b>
- Preheat an oven to 425&#176;F.
- In a small bowl, combine the water, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, corn oil, sugar, cornstarch and white pepper. Stir well to dissolve the sugar and cornstarch.
- <b>Cook the sea bass</b>
- Place the fish in a baking dish just large enough to hold the fillets in a single layer without crowding. Scatter the green onions and ginger over the fillets and then evenly pour the sauce over the fish. Cover with aluminum foil, securing well on all sides. Transfer to the oven and bake until the fish is opaque throughout when tested with the tip of a knife, 12 to 15 minutes.
- <b>Garnish and serve </b>
- Remove from the oven and then carefully remove the foil. Spoon the pan juices over the fillets, garnish with the cilantro and serve directly from the dish. Accompany with steamed rice. Serves 4.
