This fish dish relies on fresh Asian flavors, with the microwave ensuring that it is steamed speedily. The result is delicately flakey fish that is ready in minutes.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½-inch section of ginger
• 2-3 medium green onions
• 1 handful fresh shiitake mushrooms
• 1 handful of fresh coriander
• 1 pound of fish filet
• Sea salt
• 1 tablespoon of rice wine or dry sherry
• 1-2 tablespoons of soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons of water

Instructions:

1. Peel the ginger and thinly slice it into fine strips. Trim the green onions and cut them, too, into thin strips, as well as the mushrooms.
2. Season the fish and set aside. Place the green onions in a dish that can be microwaved, and put the fish on top. Pour on the rice wine and soy sauce, before adding the mushrooms. Pour on the water. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 3 to 5 minutes. Check doneness after 3 minutes by pushing the tip of a knife into the flesh. If there’s no resistance, you’re done. If not, microwave for 30 to 60 seconds longer.
3. Serve with fresh coriander.

Here are 3 of the most popular fish dishes Japan has to offer.

Nanbanzuke

In Japanese this dish means “foreign marinade.” This is because the fish is marinated in vinegar, deep fried and served with onions, cucumbers and hot red peppers. These were foods introduced from the West.

Unadon

This interesting dish is made from grilled eel fillets and steamed rice. The eel is specially grilled in the kabayaki style, where it is put on a skewer and grilled in tare sauce.

Hitsumabushi

This traditional Japanese dish centers around grilled eel and steamed rice again. But it is accompanied by a number of garnishes and condiments and is served in a very particular way. It is served in four portions. The first is eaten on its own. The second is served with seaweed, green onions and wasarbi sauce. The third is the same but with a green tea soup addition, while the fourth can be enjoyed in whatever way you like.
