Ingredients
3 to 4 pound whole fish, gutted, scales removed optional
7 scallions (green onions), cut into thirds and then sliced long-ways
2 tablespoons ginger, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
2 teaspoons sesame oil
3/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons grape seed oil
Step by step
Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Add grape seed oil to baking sheet and be sure to smooth oil all over the baking sheet with your hands.
Whisk soy sauce, sesame oil and grated ginger together in a glass measuring cup. Set aside.
Clean fish and remove scales if preferred. Add fish to prepped baking sheet and add some oil (from the baking sheet) to the top of the fish. Open the fish at the bottom (where your fishmonger cut & removed the guts for you) and stuff with minced ginger and a handful of sliced scallions. Pour soy ginger sauce over the top and inside of the fish, using about 1/4 of the mixture.
Roast in the oven at 425 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes or until fish flakes when pushed with a fork. Allow the fish to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Move onto a serving platter using two spatulas and serve with remaining scallions and soy ginger sauce.
