Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 to 4 pieces fish fillets (like tilapia or cod) Choose fresh fish for best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons ginger, minced
  • 4 pieces scallions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce For drizzling before serving.
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (or any cooking oil of your choice)
  • Salt and pepper to taste For seasoning.
  • Lemon wedges for serving Fresh lemon adds brightness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced ginger and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Carefully place the seasoned fish fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When reheating, use a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water to maintain crispiness.
