Method
- Nestle the fish fillets side by side on a large square of foil and scatter the ginger, garlic, chilli and lime zest over them. Drizzle the lime juice on top and then scatter the pieces of pak choi around and on top of the fish. Pour the soy sauce over the pak choi and loosely seal the foil to make a package, making sure you leave space at the top for the steam to circulate as the fish cooks.
- Steam for 15 minutes. (If you haven’t got a steamer, put the parcel on a heatproof plate over a pan of gently simmering water, cover with a lid and steam.)

Tasty & healthy dish...made some alterations though to my own preference...used salmon fillets instead of trout; mange tout, broccoli and baby corn instead of pak choi; added chopped lemon grass to the listed ingredients and served with Japanese style rice! Big hit all around! ...also added more soy sauce (reduced salt) at table to add moisture to whole plate! Passing this onto my friends!
Really enjoyed this. Never thought to steam fish before but will cook it this way more often. Not a drop of oil in sight. Was really tasty too. I didn't think the pak choi would make much difference, didn't think it would taste of much but it does compliment it beautifully. Will make again. Perfect midweek meal.
