Yields1 Serving
Prep Time10 minsCook Time12 minsTotal Time22 mins

 180 g any white fish (1 piece)
 2 tbsp soya sauce
 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
 ½ lime juice
 ½ tsp minced garlic
 ½ tsp fish sauce
 1 tsp honey (optional)
 ¼ tsp toasted sesame oil (optional)
Garnishes
 1 tsp red chilli (deseeded and cut into long strips)
 1 tsp ginger (cut into long strips)
 1 tbsp carrots (cut into long strips)
 2 tbsp spring onion (cut into long strips).

1

Preheat your oven to 180°C/356°F. Prep your fish and place it directly on a rectangular piece of foil. Marinade the fish in soya sauce, sweet chilli sauce, garlic, fish sauce, honey and toasted sesame oil. Leave to marinade for a least 10 minutes while you get the garnishes ready.

2

Slice the carrots, deseeded red chillies, ginger and spring onion in long strips. Chop the ends diagonally so that they are basically the same shape. This simple step gives the garnishes a more professional and prettier look.

Slowly start sealing the edges of the foil together tightly. Make sure that none of the sauce flows out of your neat package. It is now ready to be cooked. Place it in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes.

4

Once you remove it from the oven, you can slowly unwrap the foil. Make sure that you do this carefully as you do not to be burnt! You can serve it over steamed rice or noodles.

    Made the Thai steamed fish. It was easy, healthy and yummy! I sautéed the ginger and carrot in a drop of sesame oil before garnishing. .
