Instructions

Wash and clean black cod. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Marinate the black cod by rubbing ground white pepper all over on both sides. Add ginger and scallions on both the bottom and on top. Cover black cod and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
Place some ginger and green onions in the Anyday The Large Shallow Dish.
Place the fish skin-side up in the Anyday dish. Add more ginger, green onions, black bean sauce, Shaoxing wine, brown sugar, and sesame oil.
Cover with the lid (knob lifted).
Cook in the microwave at Power Level 4 (low power) for 8-10 minutes, or until fish is just cooked through.
Let it rest for 2 minutes with the lid to gently continue steaming.
Remove the Anyday lid and garnish with finely chopped green onions.
Serve and enjoy with white jasmine rice.
Be sure to spoon extra sauce over the fish and the rice!
