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.

    I adored this! I added some rice noodles with stir fried veg and it was delicious. Definitely my go to meal of the moment as most of the ingredients are easily stored in your cupboard, you only have to buy the fish and you're ready to go!

    such a simple easy, recipe, but big on results. the only thing you need to ensure is really fresh trout - this recipe brings out the best of the fish with good flavour that is not overpowering. And whaddya know - no fat at all(but you don't miss it!) I served with brown basmati to make it extra healthy.

    Tried this with pollack instead of trout and found it a little tricky to get the timings right to cook it perfectly. Flavours were good but wasn't as great as I expected it to be! Good for a quick midweek supper though.

    Mange Tout Rodney! Superb Thai Recipe! This recipe is very easy, swopped the bok choi for mange tout and added a little fish sauce. Served with some thai sticky rice from the microwave. The whole family adored this and our oldest son asked for a whole trout served thai style next time :-)

    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.

    Very simple to make, and delicious! I'll definitely be making this again, and again. I love fish and with this recipe I can use lots of different types. Also, very little washing up, which is always good.

    Such an easy meal with amazing flavour. Now use Vietnemesse river cobblers as first time tried recipe could get any trout and such a delicate fish and really cheap. Husband a bit cautious first time as he is particular with fish but loves it so a good reference point for anyone.

    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!
