1 (2 lb.) sea bass steak
2 to 4 tbsp. dry sherry
2 tbsp. reduced sodium soy sauce
4 scallions, chopped with greens
3 slices ginger, peeled and slashed
2 cloves garlic, peeled and slashed
Fresh chopped parsley
Scallions for garni

Place bass in a shallow glass or enamel container. Combine remaining ingredients, except parsley. Marinate 2 hours, turning steak over after 1 hour. Bring water under a steamer rack to a rolling boil, add ginger, garlic and scallions.

Baste fish with soy-sherry mixture as you place it on the steamer rack. Cover and steam approximately 10 minutes for each inch thickness. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and slivered lengthwise scallions.
