I found this recipe a long time ago, and have since made it so many times. It is very quick but it's pretty impressive tasting, considering how easy it is. It's not too colorful, so I'd pretty up the plate with some bright colored veggies, or a basil/cilantro infused oil.
Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked medium grain rice
1 cup sake
1 cup bottled clam juice
1 tablespoon minced peeled ginger
1 clove garlic, flattened
4 (5 ounce) sea bass fillets

1 teaspoon oriental sesame oil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted

1. Cook rice according to package directions.

5. Arrange fish on rack; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
6. Place rack in skillet.
7. Top fish with onions; and minced garlic, drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil.
