About Steamed Cod Fish

A subtly flavorful sauce complements the Cod, making it an effortlessly healthy and delicious steamed fish dish.

The Cod fish steak boasts a fresh, tender, and smooth texture with a hint of natural milky flavor on the palate. We thoroughly enjoyed it. This dish requires minimal seasoning or garnishing;

I opted for crisped fried ginger on top, but you can enhance it further with red chili julienne and coriander for a colorful presentation.

Steamed Cod Fish Ingredients

1 thick slice of fresh Cod Fish steak (about 1/2″ thick), rinsed with salted water

Ingredients for Hong Kong Style Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon of fish sauce (鱼露)
  • 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fried shallot oil
  • 1.5 tablespoon of boiled water
  • Mix all above ingredients of sauce mixture together in a bowl.

Ingredients for making garnishing:

  • 1 piece of thumb-sized ginger, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons of cooking oil

Hong Kong Style Steamed Cod Fishing Cooking Method

  • Rinse and pat dry Cod fish steak gently with kitchen towel.
  • Lay fish steak on a porcelain or stainless steel dish and steam in electrical steamer, or place on wire rack in wok filled with water on stove over high fire. Steam fish steak for 15 minutes.
  • In the meantime, heat separate wok with oil over medium fire. Fried shredded ginger till browned and crisped. Remove from wok and drain on kitchen towel. Set aside.
  • When fish is cooked, remove the dish from steamer or wok. Pour sauce mixture onto steamed fish steak. Garnish with crisped fried ginger shreds. Serve hot.

A large portion of my steamed Cod counts about 140kcal.

Tips: To prepare fried shallot oil, thinly slice 1 shallot. Heat a wok with oil over medium-high heat, add the sliced shallot, and fry until browned. Discard the browned shallot, retaining only the shallot oil.

*Ensure the Cod fish is exceptionally fresh to avoid any potential fishy taste when steamed

    Hi Anne,

    I think should be ok, but I have not tried that though..

    How abt heating the sauce in a pan separately and then pour it on the steamed fish? Heat the oil first till sizzling and then add on the rest of the condiments. I think it makes the fish dish even tastier that way.. Just more steps to do.. :)

      Hi,

      I supposed it can be done if the microwave has the ‘steam fish’ button to choose on, like my Panasonic Invertor Microwave. Otherwise, you may also go look for a steamware which allows you to steam with most basic microwave. I understand Happy Call brand has such, if not mistaken.
