Steamed Fish with Ginger & Soy is a light, healthy, and flavorful seafood dish that highlights the natural sweetness and delicate texture of fresh fish. Popular across many Asian cuisines, this elegant recipe combines tender steamed fish with fragrant ginger, fresh scallions, and a savory soy-based sauce for a perfectly balanced meal.

A whole white fish or thick fish fillets are gently steamed until moist and flaky, then topped with julienned ginger and green onions. A warm sauce made from soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine, and a touch of sugar enhances the fish without overpowering its fresh flavor. A final drizzle of hot oil over the aromatics releases their fragrance, creating a restaurant-quality finish.

This healthy and nutritious dish pairs beautifully with steamed jasmine rice, stir-fried vegetables, or bok choy, making it an ideal choice for weeknight dinners or special occasions.

Simple, elegant, and ready in just 30 minutes, Steamed Fish with Ginger & Soy is an easy homemade recipe that delivers authentic Asian-inspired flavor with minimal effort.

Cooking Method

Rinse the fish under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and white pepper.
Place half of the julienned ginger inside the cavity of the whole fish or underneath the fillets on a heatproof plate.
Bring water to a boil in a large steamer or steaming pot.
Place the fish in the steamer, cover, and steam for 8–12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until it flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, combine the soy sauce, light soy sauce, Shaoxing rice wine, sesame oil, and sugar in a small saucepan. Warm gently over low heat without boiling.
Carefully remove the cooked fish from the steamer and discard any excess liquid from the plate.
Top the fish with the remaining julienned ginger, sliced green onions, and cilantro if using.
Pour the warm soy sauce mixture evenly over the fish.
Heat the vegetable oil until just smoking, then carefully drizzle it over the ginger and green onions to release their aroma.
Serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice and stir-fried vegetables.
