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.

    Gorgeous, quick and healthy. I don't have a steamer so I put the parcels on a baking tray in the oven and it worked perfectly.

    I've cooked this recipe several times now. As lots of people have pointed out it works beautifully with different types of fish. Seabass is my favourite! I think it is worth steaming the dish rather than baking, if you have the space, as it seems to leave more of the lime and soy broth. Strangely, the first time I cooked this the pak choi was lovely but ever since then 15 minutes has proved far too long for the delicate leaves. I now add the greens closer to the end of cooking and they are perfect. Asparagus and mange tout also work well. The recipe is so quick, easy and tasty!

    This is simply fabulous! So easy to make and yet so effective - fragrant flavours, melt in your mouth fish. Make sure you drizzle the juice from steaming the fish over the rice and be generous with the sesame seeds. Will definitely make this again!

    Tried this with salmon instead - absolutely lovely. Also - wrapped up in foil and baked in the oven instead as found steaming a bit tricky. Worked really well.

    Deee lish! Used chard from the garden, (could have used spinach), river cobbler, and halved the lime and soy, as fish milder in flavour than trout. Tasted great. I will certainly cook this again.

    The fish was devine but the pak choi....? It just looked dry an sad. I'm not sure if it has a function (making the fish so nice?) but next time I'll attempt the fish without them inside the parcel. I did mine in the oven with an oven-proof dish of water underneath at 200Fan for 15 min
