Steamed fish with Ginger and Spring onions



Our Main course for Valentines Day this year. As we were having a meat dish for a starter, I fancied something quite light and 'clean' tasting for the main. I am a stickler for balance in a menu!

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 filltes of a firm white fish such as Basa, Cod, Haddock or Sea Bass - I used Basa
  • 1 inch of ginger finely chopped
  • a couple of spring onions, sliced into fine strips
  • juice of 1/2 a lime
  • pinch of sugar
  • good pinch of salt
METHOD
  • Put fillets into a steamer and season with the salt and sugar.
  • Sprinkle the fillets with the ginger and steam for 2 mins or until just cooked (Depends on thickness of your fillets - mine only needed 3 mins total)
  • just before the fillets are just cooked, top with the spring onion and let steam for a futher min - you don't want the spring onion to wilt too much.
*I served this with some Jasmine rice and Pak choi with garlic and soy sauce
