Ingredients

• 2 cups hot water
• 1 whole cleaned striped bass, (about 1 1/2 pounds)
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons julienned ginger
• 3 green onions, white and green parts, sliced in large pieces
• 1 cup peanut oil
• Lemon or lime wedges, for garnish

Directions

Place 2 cups hot water in a steamer. Place the fish in the steamer and top with the ginger and green onions. Steam, covered, for 8 to 9 minutes.

In a small saucepan, bring the oil to a gentle boil. Remove the fish from the steamer with a flexible nonstick spatula. Place fish on a deep platter or one with an edge. Pour hot oil over fish for a sizzling presentation. Garnish with fresh lemon or lime wedges. Serve immediately.
