Steamed Sea Bass

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Steamed Sea Bass Along with salmon, Chilean sea bass is our family’s favorite fish to eat. We love its soft flaky texture when cooked properly and reminds me of crab meat. Additionally, this fish is so tasty, so it only needs minimal seasoning. The unfortunate thing is that this fish is quite expensive. For this reason, I only cook with this fish on special occasions such as this past Thanksgiving (I live in Canada, so my Thanksgiving is in October). This steamed sea bass dish is definitely my family’s favorite way of eating this delicate fish. Steamed Sea Bass In my opinion, steaming this delicate fish is the best way to enjoy it. In this recipe, the sea bass steak was simply seasoned with salt and then steamed with green onions and ginger for 15 minutes. Then, a simple sauce of mirin, soy sauce and olive oil is poured over the cooked sea bass. As expected, the sea bass was the favorite on Thanksgiving and was the first one to disappear! Enjoy!

      Hi Vivian,
      This steamed sea bass recipe is good eaten with steamed rice. Other option is steamed vegetables ( broccoli, bok choy, gai lan or pea leaves). Hope these help!

      You can buy mirin online or at any Asian store. Alternately, you can substitute mirin with dry sherry. Take care and hope these help!
