Ginger Scallion Fish
This Ginger Scallion Fish recipe uses barramundi, also known as Asian sea bass, a firm, moist fish with a sweet, buttery flavor, but it would work well with any similar white fish like cod or halibut. It cooks in about ten minutes under the broiler and then is slathered with the ginger scallion sauce. Some other easy fish recipes to try are this Maple Soy Glazed Salmon, Fish Tacos and healthy baked Fish Sticks.
This ginger scallion fish recipe couldn’t be easier and it’s so flavorful!! The recipe is from Michelle Tam and Henry Fong’s new cookbook Nom Nom Paleo: Let’s Go! This book is packed with hundreds of internationally-inspired paleo and Whole30-compatible recipes, plus dozens of keto, vegetarian, and vegan ones. The recipes all look amazing. This fish was the first thing I tried, and I’m so glad I did! When I saw Michelle and Henry’s description of the ginger scallion sauce, I was instantly intrigued. “This salty, herbaceous condiment is exponentially greater than the sum of its parts…This sauce is transformative, lending massive flavor to any savory dish.” If that’s not a ringing endorsement for a sauce, then I don’t know what it is! After trying it, I’d have to agree.
