This is a delicious treatment of the best fish ever, and the sauce is very versatile. The sprouts are a nice touch.
One tablespoon of ginger distributed over several servings of sauce is not enough to make someone sick-- I suspect the other reviewer's friend had bad fish... which surely is not the fault of the recipe!
