Ingredients
- 2 fillets Fresh white fish fillets (such as cod or sea bass)
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 stalks Green onions, julienned
- 1 pepper Red chili pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 lime Lime, juiced
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Place the fillets on a heatproof plate that can fit inside your steaming device or bamboo steamer.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the coconut aminos, lime juice, and sesame oil. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the fish fillets.
Step 4
Sprinkle the sliced ginger, minced garlic, and half of the julienned green onions over the fish.
Step 5
Season the fillets with salt and black pepper.
Step 6
Bring water to a boil in a large pot or wok that can hold the steaming device. Once the water is boiling, place the plate with the fish in the steamer and cover it with a lid.
Step 7
Steam the fish over high heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
Step 8
Carefully remove the plate from the steamer. Garnish the steamed fish with the remaining green onions, sliced red chili pepper, and fresh cilantro leaves.
Step 9
Serve immediately while hot, accompanied by steamed vegetables or a side salad for a complete Paleo meal.
