Asian-Style Micro-Steamed Bass

Try this quick and easy microwave preparation for any firm-textured fish, such as snapper, grouper, sea bass, or halibut. The small amount of dark sesame oil in the sauce goes a long way and lends a deep flavor to the fish.

1/4 cup minced cilantro or parsley
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
4 skinless striped bass fillets (6 ounces each)

1 In a small bowl, combine the cilantro, scallions, ginger, and garlic. In another small bowl, stir together the soy sauce and sesame oil.

2 Place the fish in a large, microwave-safe dish and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Rotate the plate and cook for 3 minutes more, or until the fish just flakes when tested with a fork.

3 Transfer the fish to serving plates. Pour any juices from the cooking plate into the soy sauce mixture and stir to combine. Sprinkle the scallion-ginger mixture over the fish and spoon the sauce on top.
