Step 1
Set up a steamer: fill a pot with 1 inch water, place a steamer basket or bamboo steamer on top, and bring water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Pat grouper fillets dry with paper towels. Arrange on a heatproof plate, season lightly with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Slice 2 scallions into thin rings; set aside for garnish. Chop the remaining 2 scallions into 1-inch pieces.
Step 4
Slide the plate of grouper into the steamer. Cover and steam for 6–8 minutes until fish flakes easily at the thickest part.
Step 5
Heat neutral oil in a small skillet over medium-high for 90 seconds until it shimmers. Add ginger and chopped scallions, stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Remove from heat. Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil. Pour the ginger-scallion oil over the steamed grouper and garnish with sliced scallions. Serve immediately.
