Ingredients
- 2 walleye fillets, skin on
- 1 tablespoon finely grated ginger
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, separated
- Freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 3 scallions
- 1½ cups long-grain white rice
- 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
Instructions
- Rinse the rice and cook according to package directions. Use plain rice only (not seasoned), because the fish will be salty. When the rice is cooked, fluff it with seasoned rice vinegar and keep warm.
- While the rice cooks, cut each walleye fillet into 2 to 3 pieces, depending on size. Season generously with salt and pepper. Combine 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, the grated ginger and dark soy sauce in a bowl, then toss the seasoned fish in the marinade.
- Cut the scallions on the bias.
- When ready to cook, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, sear the fish flesh side down until golden. Flip and cook the other side — do not overcook. While the second side cooks, add the sliced scallion to the oil and saute until slightly browned.
- Serve the fish and scallion immediately with the rice.
