About Steam fish in garlic butter sauce

Steam Fish in Garlic Butter Sauce is a flavorful dish that combines tender steamed fish with a rich and aromatic sauce. This recipe often features white fish, such as cod, snapper, or tilapia, which is delicately cooked to preserve its moisture and natural flavors. The garlic butter sauce is made with fresh garlic, unsalted butter, lemon juice, and herbs, offering a balance of zesty and savory notes. Originating from global seafood cuisines, it is particularly popular in Mediterranean-style cooking. This dish is a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and brain function. Steaming minimizes the need for extra oils, keeping the fish light and nutritious. However, the butter in the sauce contributes saturated fats, so portion control is recommended for those watching their fat intake. Paired with steamed vegetables or whole grains, it makes a wholesome and satisfying meal.
