Ingredients
For the Glaze and Baking
- ¼ Cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- 1 Teaspoon White Miso Paste
- 1 ½-2 Pounds Sea Bass (or cod or fish of choice)
- 1 Pound Green Beans (washed & trimmed)
- Olive Oil (for drizzling, about 1 tablespoon)
For the Sizzling Ginger Scallion Sauce
- ⅓ Cup Avocado Oil
- 2 Bunches Scallions, separated (whites and greens finely chopped in separate bowls)
- 1 Tablespoon Freshly Grated Ginger
- 4 Cloves Garlic (minced)
- ¼ Cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
- 1 Lime (juiced)
To Serve
- 2 Cups Cooked Brown Rice
- Lime Wedges
- Chili Crisp (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly with cooking spray, then set it aside.
- Prepare the Fish: Place the sea bass skin-side down on one end of the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup soy sauce, white miso paste, and honey until smooth and fully combined. Brush this glaze evenly over the top of the fish, saving some glaze for the green beans.
- Prepare Green Beans: Arrange the green beans on the other end of the baking sheet. Toss the beans with the reserved miso-honey glaze until evenly coated. Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil to help roasting.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the fish is cooked through, flakes easily with a fork, and the green beans are tender.
- Make Sizzling Ginger Scallion Sauce: While the fish is baking, heat the avocado oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until tiny bubbles form around the edges, indicating it’s very hot. Meanwhile, combine the white parts of the scallions, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a heat-safe glass bowl or measuring cup.
- Sizzle Sauce: Carefully pour the hot oil over the scallion, ginger, and garlic mixture; it should sizzle instantly. Stir to combine, then add soy sauce and lime juice, followed by the green parts of the scallions. Stir well and set the sauce aside.
- Remove Fish from Oven: When done, take out the sea bass and green beans from the oven and allow them to rest for a moment.
- Assemble Bowls: Start with a base of warm cooked brown rice in serving bowls. Top with the baked sea bass and roasted green beans. Generously spoon the sizzling ginger scallion sauce over everything.
- Garnish and Serve: Add fresh lime wedges and a spoonful of chili crisp if desired for an extra kick. Serve immediately to enjoy the full sizzling effect and fresh flavors.
Notes
- Make sure the bowl used for the sizzling scallion sauce is heat-safe to prevent cracking when pouring hot oil.
- You can substitute sea bass with cod or any firm white fish of your choice.
- Low sodium soy sauce helps control salt levels but can be adjusted based on preference.
- Chili crisp is optional but adds a spicy crunch to the dish.
- Adjust cooking times based on the thickness of your fish to avoid overcooking.
