Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.)

Perk up your rice

Try serving with Thai jasmine rice, and if you've got some sesame seeds, toast a handful and toss them into the rice just before serving.

    Delicious! I didn't have lime so used half a lemon and it worked really well.

    Very delicious! I used salmon as I already had some and I added some spring onions to the mix to add an extra flavour (also extra garlic because I cant get enough of the stuff!). I served with noodles, baby sweetcorn and the courgette salad also from the gf website. It was a real hit with my other half. Really easy to change the recipe to suit tastes aswell. I did everything exactly the same for my children except left out the chillis. It went down a treat! I will definately be doing this again

    I made this with sea bass fillets for a dinner party and it was fabulous. Everyone loved it. And it was really easy too.

    I loved this recipe. Simple and quick to prepare and really delicious. I had never used pak choi before but will definitely buy it more often. I placed the foil parcels in the oven for 15 mins - less washing up than using a steamer!

    DELICIOUS! I followed the recipe exactly (apart from adding 2 big cloves of garlic) and served with basmati rice. I was amazed how tasty it was for a dish which requires very little thought and effort. Yummy, will be making this again!

    Too big to fit in the steamer so cooked in the oven for 15 mins at 160C fan. Brilliant recipe - quick, easy and very delicious!

    Very tasty and I love that the green veg is included in the pouches so you don't have to make some separately. Like others, I also ended up making this in the oven - which works fine, although I imagine the pak choi would come out a little less floppy if it was steamed. Served with a side of rice this is a delicious weeknight meal.

    This was delicious. We had it with coconut rice and added fresh corriander - very tasty. I think it could have had a little more ginger but still nommy!

    An excellent quick mid-week dish. So easy and tasty. I served mine with egg fried rice which soaked up the sauce and kept it healthy. My husband is a big fan.

    Very tasty and simple to make. We added some agg noodles on the side to make it a bit more of a meal. The fish was beautiful and moist, and very tasty with the lime and ginger. I added a splash more soy to the noodles for a bit more of a 'sauce'. Lovely dish, would make again with little to no changes

    I made this last night and used salmon fillets instead of trout. Very nice perhaps I was a bit over enthusiastic with the soya sauce . I will use the Light soya next time as this time I used dark soya and it was a bit on the salty side.
