This dish is not only quick to prepare but also packed with nutrients. Perfect for a weeknight dinner, this recipe brings together a beautiful balance of savory and slightly sweet notes that will delight your taste buds.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
2. Marinate the Fish:
- Place the white fish fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor.
3. Prep the Aromatics:
- While the fish is marinating, slice the scallions (spring onions) thinly.
- Finely grate the ginger root.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
4. Cook the Fish:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully add the marinated fish fillets to the skillet. Cook the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
- Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside on a warm plate.
5. Sauté the Aromatics:
- In the same skillet, add the sliced scallions, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant and slightly softened.
6. Combine and Serve:
- Return the cooked fish to the skillet, nestling it among the sautéed aromatics. Spoon some of the aromatics over the fish.
- Allow everything to heat through for an additional 1-2 minutes.
7. Garnish and Enjoy:
- Serve the soy fish hot, garnished with additional fresh scallions if desired.

Tips:

- Choose fresh white fish fillets such as cod, haddock, or tilapia for the best flavor and texture.

- Marinate the fish in the soy sauce, mirin, and sesame oil mixture for about 15-20 minutes to enhance its flavor.

- Finely chop the garlic and ginger to ensure they evenly distribute their flavors throughout the dish.

- Cook the fish on medium heat to avoid overcooking and drying it out.

- Garnish the dish with extra scallions and a squeeze of lemon juice for added freshness.
