Serve the fish with a mandarin and ginger-scented rice to soak up the broth. If you can't find satsumas, use another kind of fresh mandarin or a clementine. This was made for just two but very simple to double or triple.

Sake-Steamed Mandarin Fish

Serves: 2

For the sake-steamed fish:

• 1satsuma mandarin, peeled, segmented, and trimmed of excess fiber
• 1scallion, thinly sliced on the bias
• 1/4teaspoon lime zest
• Salt and pepper
• Two-4ounces filets of a firm white fish (You can use sustainable chilean sea bass, striped bass, grouper, or cod.)
• 1teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 1small red chile (like a Thai chile), seeded and sliced very thinly
• 1/2cup sake
• 1/2cup chicken broth
• 2teaspoons fresh ginger, minced and peeled
• 1clove garlic, minced
• 1tablespoon soy sauce

1. Take half of the satsuma segments and slice them into quarters, set aside. Take the other half and chop -- this will make roughly 1 heaping tablespoon. Mix the chopped satsumas with the scallions and lime zest, set aside. Season mixture lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Brush each fish fillet with sesame oil and season with salt and pepper. Lay the sliced satsuma segments flat on top of the fish and top with 2 to 3 slices of chile, depending on how much heat you prefer.
3. In a steamer pot, bring the sake, chicken stock, ginger, garlic, and soy sauce to a hearty simmer. Place the fish in your steamer rack and cover. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until the fish is cooked through -- it should be opaque in the center but not too firm.
4. Remove the fish, place on a plate, and cover with foil to keep warm. Set aside. Bring the cooking liquid to a boil and reduce by half. Taste for seasoning, then set aside as you make the rice.

For the mandarin ginger-scented rice:

• 1teaspoon butter
• 1shallot, diced
• 1cup Basmati rice
• 11-inch knob of ginger, crushed with the back of a knife
• 1 3/4chicken stock
• 1satsuma peel

1. In a medium stock pot, heat the butter over medium heat. When it is melted, add the shallot and cook for 5 minutes, or until translucent.
2. Add the rice and stir for 1 minute (allowing it to soak up the shallot butter). Toss in the ginger, chicken stock, and satsuma peel, bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, or according to rice package instructions.
3. Take rice off the heat for 5 minutes, keep covered. Fluff with a fork, remove ginger and peel. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Serve the fish over rice and spoon the sauce on top. Top the fillets with the fresh satsuma, scallion, and lime zest mixture.
