I make this whenever we can find a nice piece of sea bass. Definitely takes much longer to cook through than the recommended 7 minutes. 15 minutes is closer to actual experience. Delicious, though, and I happily cook this again and again.

Is this calling for regular raw sesame oil or dark and toasted?

I made this. I agree it takes more to make than the time indicated. I was disappointed because with all of the cutting of scallions, grating of fresh ginger etc., the flavors really did not penetrate the sea bass....If you make it, try for a thin fillet, perhaps then it'll taste like something.....
