Prep your steamer pot. Bring water to a boil and lower to a simmer. Add the steamer insert on top.
In a large bowl, add 1 tablespoon of green onions to the bottom, followed by the cod. Lastly, add 1 tablespoon of ginger over the fish.
Put the bowl in the steamer pot and let the fish steam for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through.
Combine the vegetable oil and the rest of the ginger in a medium saucepan. Heat for 15-20 seconds until the oil starts to sizzle.
Remove the fish from the steamer pot and place the fish onto a large plate. Pour the cooked ginger mixture over the fish.
Top the fish with remaining green onions. Set aside.
Combine all the ingredients for the soy sauce in a small bowl and mix.
Heat the soy sauce sauce in a sauce pan for 15-20 seconds until the edges start to bubble.
Pour over the fish and serve immediately.

Adjust the steaming time of the fish based on how thick your fish is. My fish was 1-1.5 inches thick.
To make this recipe gluten free, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
