DIRECTIONS: Preheat broiler and set broiler rack as close as possible to heating element. For basting sauce, combine tamari, cumin, parsley, lime juice, olive oil and ginger in a small bowl. Set aside. Wipe steaks with damp paper towels. Brush one side of each steak with oil that has risen to the top of reserved basting sauce, and arrange fish, oiled-sides down, in centre of dis- posable broiling pan. Brush top sides with oil. Broil fish 8 to 10 minutes. Do not turn. Fish is done when it flakes easily when tested with a fork and is opaque clear through. Remove gin- ger from marinade and purée remain- der of sauce in food processor or blend- er. In small saucepan, bring sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes. Place sour cream in medium size bowl and gradually add warmed sauce, stir- ring until blended. Remove fish from broiler, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and keep warm on stove top. Add pan juices to the sauce and stir to combine. Top each steak with a gar- nish of lime. Serve remaining sauce separately.
