Braised Fish Recipe

Ingredients:

• Fish (cleaned, scales removed, and sliced – such as salmon, cod, tilapia, or sea bass)
• 2–3 tablespoons oil
• 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 2–3 stalks green onions, chopped
• 2–3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 cup water or chicken stock
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fish:
   Pat the cleaned and sliced fish dry with a paper towel. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Oil:
   In a pan or wok, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add the Fish:
   Gently place the fish slices into the pan. Sear each side for 1–2 minutes until lightly browned. Be careful not to break the fish.
4. Add Sauces and Seasoning:
   Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sugar. Stir gently to coat the fish evenly.
5. Simmer:
   Add the water or chicken stock. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let the fish simmer for about 8–10 minutes, or until fully cooked and flavorful.
6. Finish with Green Onions:
   Add chopped green onions during the last minute of cooking for freshness and aroma.
7. Serve:
   Carefully transfer the braised fish to a serving plate. Spoon some of the sauce over the top. Serve hot with steamed rice.
