Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the pomfret very dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and white pepper.

2. 2

   Heat cooking oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the fish in the pan.

3. 3

   Pan-fry for 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid turning too frequently to get a crispy skin.

4. 4

   While the fish is frying, prepare the soy sauce dressing by mixing light soy sauce, sugar, water, and sesame oil in a small bowl.

5. 5

   Once the fish is cooked, transfer it to a serving plate.

6. 6

   Sprinkle the julienned ginger and scallions over the hot fish.

7. 7

   Heat the soy sauce dressing briefly in the pan or microwave until warm, then pour it evenly over the fish, ginger, and scallions. Serve immediately.
