Josh's steamed fish

We picked up 2 very nice little sea breams at the Japanese fish store with the idea of making an Asian style steamed fish. Josh took it up a notch. Not all the ingredients have amounts because that's the way he cooks, but I think I could recreate it since I participated as sous-chef.

Ingredients
2 sea breams, about a pound and a half total weight
sea salt
vegetable oil
2 shallots (not green onions)
garlic
ginger
soy sauce
mirin
cooking wine (we used sake)
2 T sugar
juice of 1/2 lemon and 1/2 orange
orange zest

thinly slice the shallots and deep fry in oil until crisp and golden. Be careful not to overcook.

meanwhile, score the fish and rub with salt

remove the shallots and add the garlic and ginger to the oil
add wine, deglaze and reduce
add soy, mirin and lemon and orange. simmer
add sugar and reduce until sauce thickens

put fish in a steamer with half the sauce and cook until just done
serve with rice, drizzle sauce over fish and sprinkle shallots on top

We also made spicy tofu from Seduction of Rice and broccoli. It was heavenly!
