2. Cooking Directions

  1. In a large pot, bring about 1 inch of water to a boil. Sprinkle the fish with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Fold each fillet in half and put the fillets in a steamer basket over the boiling water. Reduce the heat to moderately high, cover, and steam until just done, about 10 minutes for folded 1/2-inch-thick fillets. Transfer the fillets to plates.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat the 2 tablespoons oil over high heat. Add the mushrooms and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Top the fish with the mushrooms.
  3. Reduce the heat to moderately low. Heat the remaining teaspoon of oil in the pan; add the ginger, scallions, and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the soy sauce, dry mustard, wine, and broth. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the mushrooms and fish.

Yield: 4 servings

3. Still Hungry?

Seared mushrooms top steamed orange roughy and are topped in turn with an Asian combination of ginger, scallions, garlic, soy sauce, and dry mustard. The mustard both thickens the sauce and gives it an appealing bite.

Notes:

Fish Alternatives

Steam fillets of sole, whitefish, or turbot to pair with the mushroom sauce. If the fillets are thin, either fold them in half or roll them up before steaming.

    This fish is categorized as vulnerable to exploitation by the Marine Conservation Society. Orange Roughy is slow-growing and late to mature, resulting in a very low resilience. They are extremely susceptible to overfishing because of this, and many stocks (especially those off New Zealand and Australia, which were first exploited in the late 1970s) have already crashed; recently discovered substitute stocks are rapidly dwindling. Even so, the United States continues to import up to 8,620 tonnes (19 million lb) of orange roughy per year. Skip this recipe and try another more sustainable fish.
