Ingredients

  • White fish fillets (such as cod or sole) - 300 grams
  • Fresh ginger, grated - 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic, minced - 1 clove
  • Soy sauce (low sodium) - 2 tablespoons
  • Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
  • Lemon zest - 1 teaspoon
  • Scallions, chopped - 2 tablespoons
  • Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Salt - to taste

Steps

  1. Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, and lemon zest to create a marinade.
  3. Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for 15 minutes.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated fish fillets, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are cooked through and flaky.
  5. Remove the fish from the skillet and place on a serving plate. Pour any remaining marinade from the skillet over the top.
  6. Garnish with chopped scallions and fresh cilantro before serving.
