Most of the week, there’s only two of us for dinner. I find it bittersweet to shop and cook for two—especially when missing family. Look on the bright side: This is the ideal time to celebrate with more pricey proteins, such as fish, and to work on certain kitchen techniques, such as steaming.

Enter our local restaurant’s version of steamed fish with shredded ginger and bok choy. This dish is the perfect dish for two: It ticks all the boxes for high protein, low fat, and bold flavor. Plus, I promised a cousin I would try to recreate it and send her the recipe.
