   After the liquids have boiled for 1 minute, reduce the heat to medium and gently add the fish, skin side down.

5. 5

   Cover and adjust the heat so the mixture simmers steadily.

6. 6

   Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the point of a thin-bladed knife meets little resistance when inserted into the thickest part of the fillet.

7. 7

   Carefully remove the fish from the poaching liquid.

8. 8

   Drain the ginger if youre using it and garnish the fish.

9. 9

   Pass the sauce separately to spoon over the fish and white rice.
