Preparation:
1. On each side of the fish, make three diagonal cuts 2 1/2 inches long and 1/2 inch deep.
2. Stir the marinade ingredients in a small bowl, and spoon it over the fish, making sure it seeps into the cuts. Let the fish stand in the marinade, uncovered, at room temperature, for 1 hour.
3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. Make the sauce: Melt the butter in a small skillet, and saute the sesame seeds until golden, 1 minute. Stir in the ginger and garlic; cook 1 minute. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, lemon juice, cornstarch and water; stir until smooth. Stir this into the butter mixture, and heat to a simmer, stirring. Cook until slightly thickened, 1 minute. Set aside and keep warm.
5. Arrange the fish in a baking pan, and bake until it flakes easily, about 15 minutes.
6. Stir any accumulated pan juices and the chopped scallions into the sauce.
7. Spoon the sauce over the fish or serve alongside. 2 portions
