Recipe Notes
I love the slightly spicy blend of the ginger with the freshness of the cilantro. By just letting the herbs wilt for a few seconds, and not cooking too long, you won’t lose the fresh flavor and bright color. You can use almost any white fish for this – cod, sea bass, or grouper will work just fine. Even though this has some onion, cooking for a while along with the ginger may make this GERD friendly.
