Description
Experience the vibrant flavors of Thailand with this light and zesty steamed fish, infused with lime and garlic for a deliciously fresh meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fillets of white fish (such as cod or tilapia)
- 2 limes, juiced and zested
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of fish sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Steamer: Fill your pot with enough water to steam but not so much that it touches the fish. Place the steamer basket inside and bring the water to a gentle simmer.
- Lay the Fish Fillets: Place the fish fillets flat in the steaming basket, taking care to leave enough space for steam to circulate.
- Make the Lime-Garlic Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the freshly squeezed lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, and fish sauce.
- Pour the Mixture: Drizzle the lime-garlic concoction over the fish fillets.
- Steam the Fish: Cover with a lid and steam for about 8-10 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
- Serve: Remove the fish and serve with additional lime wedges on the side.
Notes
For a bolder flavor, marinate the fish briefly in the lime-garlic mixture before steaming.
