Preparation
- Step 1
Place each fillet in a separate microwave-safe zip-top bag, then place the bags skin (or skinned) side down next to each other on a microwave-safe plate.
- Step 2
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce and sesame oil; set aside. Divide ginger coins and white part of scallions between the two bags. Pour half the wine (¾ teaspoon) into each bag. Microwave until fish becomes opaque and flakes easily, 3½ to 5 minutes in an 800-watt oven. (Cooking times will vary depending on the kind of fish used and the power of the oven; for ovens over 800 watts, lower the power level accordingly.)
- Step 3
Transfer each fillet to a warm serving plate and drizzle each with half of the soy sauce mixture. Garnish with scallion greens and julienned ginger. In a small pan, heat peanut oil until sizzling. Drizzle the hot oil over each fillet and serve immediately.

No need to microwave in the plastic bag, it can be microwaved in a covered dish. Microwaving in a plastic bag doesn’t seem as if it’s a very healthy practice.
Works beautifully with a whole rainbow trout.
Fish can be placed in a microwave safe baking dish, like a pyrex, covered with a piece of crumpled parchment and then microwave safe plastic wrap for a tight seal. Works like a charm.
Can this be done with a fillet rather than a whole fish? How much time in the microwave?

Followed the advice not to use plastic bags, and it came out perfectly. The effect is very much that of typical Cantonese steamed fish. Delicious!
