Thai Lime-Garlic Steamed Fish
Ingredients
4 fillets white fish such as cod or tilapia
2 limes, juiced and zested
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
→ Garnish
1 red chili, finely sliced
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions
Rinse white fish fillets under running water and pat thoroughly dry using paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine lime juice and zest, minced garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, granulated sugar, and grated ginger. Mix well until sugar dissolves.
Arrange fish fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the prepared marinade over the fillets, coating evenly. Allow to marinate at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
Transfer marinated fish and all marinade liquid into a steaming dish. Scatter sliced red chili and half the chopped cilantro evenly over the fillets.
Place the steaming dish into a preheated steamer. Steam fish for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork.
Remove the dish from the steamer and garnish with remaining cilantro before serving.
