Emeril's Soy Glazed Steamed Snapper with Pickled Red Cabbage
YIELD 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
| 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons | low sodium soy sauce |
| 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon | toasted sesame oil |
| 1 teaspoon | minced garlic |
| 1 teaspoon | minced ginger |
| 1 teaspoon | minced green onion |
| 4 tablespoons | sugar |
| 4 6‑ounce | fillets of snapper or other firm white fish |
| 2 cups | bok choy, cut into 1-inch long strips |
| 2 cups | Napa cabbage, cut into 1-inch long strips |
| 1 cup | red bell peppers, sliced into strips |
| 2 cups | shiitake mushrooms, sliced |
| 1 cup | shelled edamame |
| 2 | Thai Bird Chili peppers |
| Pickled Red Cabbage | |
PREPARATION:
Method
- In a small bowl combine the 1/2 cup soy sauce with 1 teaspoon sesame oil, garlic, ginger, green onion, and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Set the glaze aside until needed. Reserve 1/4 cup of the glaze to use as a sauce. Brush the fish with the glaze and allow to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes. Line the bottom section of a bamboo steamer with cabbage leaves and lay the fish on top of the leaves and brush with more glaze.
- Combine the bok choy, Napa cabbage, sliced peppers, shiitake mushrooms, edamame and Thai bird chili peppers. Toss with remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Place in the upper portion of the bamboo steamer basket above the fish. Add just enough water to cover the bottom of a large wok, about 2 cups. Bring the water to a boil. Add the bamboo steamer and cook until the fish and veggies are just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. (The fish and the vegetables should cook in the same amount of time.)
- To serve the dish, lay the fish on top of the steamed vegetables and drizzle with the
- reserved sauce.
