Directions

Preheat a large fry pan on medium-high heat. Add the butter and then the shallots and ginger. Sauté until lightly browned.
Add the tomato, orange juice, tamari and red pepper flakes, cover with a lid and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Now it is time to add the fish. Make sure the sauce has enough liquid and is not going to burn while you poach/steam your fish. Add a little more orange juice/water if necessary.
Carefully place the fish in the pan. Cover with a lid, bring to a simmer and poach/steam the fish until it’s cooked how you like it.
Serve immediately with your favourite grain or legume (green lentils are a very nice choice) and top with the sauce from the pan.
