Serves: 4

Prep Time: 15 min

Cook Time: 15 min

This flavorful dish pairs tender Chilean Seabass with stir-fried bok choy, scallions, and a savory soy-ginger sauce, served over soba noodles or rice for a balanced, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. soba or udon noodles or 1 1/2 cups jasmine, brown, or white rice
  • 3 tbsp. soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp. mirin
  • 1 tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. grated, peeled ginger root
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 6 scallions
  • 1 head of bok choy (about 1 1/2 lbs.)
  • 1 1/2 lbs. firm fish fillets, at least 1/2-inch thick
  • 2 tsp. vegetable oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

  1. Cook the noodles or rice.
  2. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and 3 tbsp. of water. Set aside.
  3. Cut the scallions diagonally into 1-inch pieces. Cut the bok choy on the diagonal into 1/2-inch slices.
  4. Cut the fish into serving-sized fillets or bite-sized chunks.
  5. In a large skillet on high heat, stir-fry the scallions in the oil for a minute.
  6. Add the bok choy and salt. Stir constantly until the greens are just tender but still crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
  7. Add the soy sauce mixture to the skillet and bring to a simmer.
  8. Add the fish fillets, cover, and simmer on low heat until cooked through (about 6 minutes for fillets, and 4 minutes for bite-sized chunks). The fish will be done when the flesh is opaque.
  9. Remove fish from sauce. Return noodles and vegetables to sauce and toss.
  10. Serve noodles and veggies on a plate or in a bowl, with fish on top.
  11. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
