Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry and check and remove for any larger bones. Season with a drizzle of oil and a heavy pinch of salt.
To the pot add the garlic, ginger, the white parts of the scallions, and chopped chilis. Pour in the broth, soy sauce, and ponzu. Season with a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and simmer with the lid on for 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat, and add the green parts of the scallions, creating a layer between the fish and the steaming sauce. Place the seasoned fish on top, return the lid and heat on low.
Cook for 6-7 minutes for smaller thin fillets and twice as long for thicker cuts. Once the fish is cooked through, serve immediately with rice.
