What Type Of Fish To Use

I would recommend a mild tasting type of fish like the one that I'm using in this recipe which is sea bream.

You can use sea bass, hake or cod. Personally I would not use salmon as the taste is quite strong for this mild meal.

As you can see in the video recipe below, I'm using a whole fish with bones. For me the fish tastes more delicious when you cook it with its bones.

Not only for steaming, generally in all meals. So if you're not fussy about the bones, by all means use whole fish.

But if you don't feel like dealing with the bones, then use fillets. It's not against any rules, alright?

Like I always say, do what's convenient to you.

Just know that fillets cook faster than whole fish though, so keep your eye on the time.

The Sauce

This is the sauce base for the steamed fish. I'm using fish sauce, soy sauce, water, coconut sugar and sesame oil.

You can skip the fish sauce and use only soy sauce.

Adjust the amount of lime juice to your taste.

Use brown sugar or normal sugar instead of coconut sugar.

Add a dash of white pepper powder if you like. Make it yours.

How To Eat This Steamed Fish

This meal is best served straight away when it's piping hot.

Serve this delicious healthy ginger steamed fish with some white or brown rice.

Complete the whole dish with some steamed broccoli or green beans and you will feel super satisfied.

As you can see in the recipe video below, this is a super easy recipe and it's also healthy!

Do give it a try.
