Steamed Red Snapper with Ginger, Chiles, and Sesame Oil

• 1 (1-pound) red snapper fillet with skin (3/4 inch thick)
• 1 tablespoon medium-dry Sherry
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 (3-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into 1/16-inch-thick matchsticks (1 1/2 inches long)
• 1 scallion, cut lengthwise into 1 1/2-inch-long very thin strips (1/3 cup)
• 2 fresh serrano chiles, seeded and cut lengthwise into very thin strips
• 1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil

1. Arrange a 9-inch metal cake rack or steamer basket in a 12- to 14-inch wok or a deep 12-inch skillet (with a domed lid) and add enough water to reach just below rack.
2. Cover wok and bring water to a boil.
3. Score skin of fish in several places, then put on an oiled heatproof plate that will fit into wok or skillet with 1 inch clearance around plate.
4. Stir together Sherry and salt in a small bowl, then rub mixture onto both sides of fish, leaving skin side up.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a small skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then saute ginger, scallion, and chiles, stirring, until fragrant but not browned, about 30 seconds, and spoon over fish.
6. Carefully transfer fish (on plate) to rack in wok and cover tightly, then steam until fish is just cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes.
7. Carefully remove plate from wok and sprinkle fish with sesame oil.
