1. Place the sea bass on a plate that will fit inside your pan/wok. Sprinkle the salt, spring onion and ginger over the fish.
2. When the water in the pan is boiling, put the plate on the metal steaming rack and place the lid on. Steam for 11 minutes.
3. About 5 minutes before the fish is done and you are about to serve, take a pan or wok and heat up 2 tbsp vegetable oil on high heat until very hot.
4. After 20 minutes of steaming, using a Metal Plate Clipper, carefully take the plate from the metal steaming rack and place on a heat resistant surface.
