Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets White fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 inch piece, sliced into thin strips Ginger
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 stalks, sliced diagonally Green onions
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 thinly sliced Red chili
- 2 wedges Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the fish fillets by rinsing them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, coconut aminos, sesame oil, garlic, and salt. This will be the marinade for the fish.
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Allow the fish to marinate for about 10 minutes.
While the fish is marinating, prepare a steaming setup using a steam basket or bamboo steamer. Fill a pot with enough water to not touch the bottom of the steamer, and bring to a gently rolling boil.
Arrange the marinated fish fillets in the steamer basket, leaving space between each piece to allow steam to circulate.
Top the fish with sliced ginger, green onions, red chili, and a few cilantro leaves.
Place the steam basket over the boiling water, cover with a lid, and steam for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Once cooked, carefully remove the fish from the steamer and transfer to a serving plate.
Sprinkle the remaining cilantro leaves over the top of the fish and serve immediately with fresh lime wedges on the side.
