Fish with cilantro and ginger recipe

 Here's a flavorful recipe for Fish with Cilantro and Ginger:

Ingredients:

• 2 fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or snapper)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil

• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 small onion, thinly sliced

• 1 fresh red chili (optional), sliced

• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon lime juice (or lemon juice)

• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for a touch of sweetness)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the fish:

   • Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. Make the ginger-cilantro sauce:

   • In a small bowl, combine grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, and honey (if using). Stir well and set aside.

3. Cook the aromatics:

   • Heat olive oil (or vegetable oil) in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

   • Add the minced garlic, ginger, and chili (if using). Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant.

4. Cook the fish:

   • Push the aromatics to one side of the pan and add the fish fillets to the other side. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

5. Add the sauce:

   • Pour the ginger-cilantro sauce over the fish fillets. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors, spooning the sauce over the fish.

6. Finish and serve:

   • Drizzle sesame oil over the fish (optional) for added richness.

   • Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
