The combination of Asian flavors in this dish is distinct and powerful. Steaming the fish makes it moist and tender. Swap halibut for the cod, if desired. This simple dish can be prepared in just 15 minutes, making it perfect for a quick weeknight supper. The fish is so flakey and tender that it just melts in your mouth. The garlic and ginger mixed with soy sauce and sherry adds a distinctive and delicious flavor. The thickness of the cod will impact how long it cooks. Thinner fish cooks faster. Serve this with rice and steamed broccoli.
