Exotic Steamed Fish with Ginger and Lime

Exotic Steamed Fish with Ginger and Lime

Ingredients:

 

  1. 1 large fish fillet (such as sea bass, snapper, or cod)
  2. Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  3. 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  4. 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  5. 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  6. 1 tablespoon olive oil or sesame oil
  7. 2-3 thin slices of fresh ginger
  8. 1-2 red chilies, thinly sliced
  9. Fresh coriander leaves, for garnish
  10. 1 lime, sliced into wedges

Directions:

1. Prepare the Fish: Rinse the fish fillet and pat it dry. Lightly season with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, and olive oil or sesame oil. Set aside.

3. Steaming Setup: Place a steaming rack or basket in a pot with about 1 inch of water. Bring to a simmer.

4. Arrange the Fish: Lay the fish on a heatproof plate that will fit inside the steamer. Place ginger slices under the fish and pour the sauce evenly over the top.

5. Steam the Fish: Carefully place the plate inside the steamer. Cover and steam for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

6. Garnish: Carefully remove the plate from the steamer. Sprinkle sliced red chilies and fresh coriander on top. Arrange lime slices around the fish for added flavor.

7. Serve: Serve the fish hot with additional lime wedges for squeezing.
