What fish is best for steaming?
Most fresh fish is perfect for steaming. You can use whole fish as well. The fish species I prefer are snapper, sea bass, hoki or a nice piece of salmon.
Take a trip to your local fish market or supermarket to select your favourite fresh fish, chat with your local fish monger and they will be able to tell you what fish is most sustainable in your region.
This recipe also works perfectly with frozen fish, which can be a cheaper option for feeding the family.
Steaming fish with no steamer?
Layer the fish fillets over the bok choy, keeping it off the base of your pan and cover it with an amazing soy, garlic and ginger sauce. The fish will steam perfectly in the oven, keeping all the flavours locked inside and infusing together. Such a great method for cooking the perfect fish!
You can even try this using small whole fish, just make sure you get your fish supplier to remove the scales and gills. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the type of fish you use.
