Soy Poached Red Snapper with Ginger

Judy loves to prepare fish.  The vast majority of fish recipes we have presented at Cooking D’Lites have come from Judy.  This recipe infuses the savory and spicy tastes of both Soy and Ginger into the fish.  Although Judy utilized Red Snapper as the protein here, Black Bass or any other firm fish will do as well.

From our kitchen to yours.  Enjoy the adventure.
