Add the fish, turn to coat, cover, and marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature. Set a steamer (either western style orAsian bamboo) over a pot with at least 1 inch of simmering water. On a dinner plate that can fit in the steamer, arrange the fish so the fillets fit without touching (discard the remaining marinade). Distribute the scallions around the fish and put the plate in the steamer. Cover and steam the fish until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes.

2Tbs

skinless black cod fillets (about each)237milliliters

long-grain white rice, preferably jasmine,cooked according to package directions 1

2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled 1teaspoon

Shaoxing (Chinese rice wine)12

scallions or spring onions, dark-green parts only, cut on the diagonal into 2-inch pieces

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir

Cod works really well with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The FitVine Wine Pinot Grigio with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.
