Delicious. Love it. Will make it again for my family. My husband like chilean sea bass, and so I used this chilean sea bass for cooking this recipe,the flavor is awesome, even my 3 years old daughter liked it. She said, "Mommy, yummy", and that is the real deal right there for me. I also used sweet masala wine for the sauce with white wine vinegar and it came out absolutely delicious. I like Claire, you are the best for 5 ingredients fix recipe that give busy mom like me to cook delicious foods for my family. Thank you. Ah, and don't forget to pair them with the rice, and zuchini tini with this. LOVE IT

Excellent recipe however... in my small town there was no hope of finding lemongrass so I used a sliced up fennel as a substitution. I figured it would add flavor like the lemongrass. Also, I used salmon filets instead of striped bass as bass in my area is unheard of! In either case it was excellent! The sake, lime and fennel flavoring was incredible!

I just made this recipe and myself and guests absolutely loved it! I read the 2 reviews that mentioned it made the fish taste bitter and made sure that my fish was sitting out of the sake, was resting on ginger instead of the limes or lemongrass, and that it had skin on the pieces. I think that probably made the difference as I could see the bitterness creeping in if the fish was actually sitting in the sake the whole cooking time......either way I loved this so much :

I wonder how I could make this vegetarian. Could I use tofu instead of the fish? This was my first thought, but am not sure if the tofu would hold together enough to be able to steam this way.

Any suggestions if tofu will not work?

TIA

I made this dish because I thought the ingredients sounded great and I am always looking for healthy new dishes to make. Unfortunately, I was "bitterly" disappointed. It was a 50/50 split in my house, with my husband loving the bitter flavor infused in the fish; I, however, thought the fish was inedible. I served the fish with the Soy Buerre Blanc sauce and the sauce was amazing, wonderfully rich and buttery, but it still didn't cut the bitter taste of the fish. I suggest you use half the amount of saki (use 1/2 saki and 1/2 water or fish stock, sliced limes, lemon grass and ginger if you're going to attempt this dish. I used Chilean Sea Bass instead of the Striped Sea Bass, ony because that's the only bass that was fresh and available at the fish monger. Lastly, the ingredients to make this dish were very expensive to buy, and if you're living on a fixed budget like me, I wouldn't recommend making this dish.

The ingredients sound really amazing. The fish was inedible, unless you like extremely bitter flavors.

I had to substitute tuna for the sea bass as my grocerer did not have any available & tuna looked the best today .. pairs wonderfully with the edamame rice & sauce .. will definately be making this again!!
