Easy Asian-Style Low Fat Microwave Steamed Fish image

Dead easy fish, always tasty and good! The flavours are Vietnamese/Thai/Balinese. You can add any other favourite asian flavours to the marinade, get creative! Australian measurements used (1 T = 20mls)You can use lemon juice if you have to but lime is really much nicer. If you have some, add a chopped kaffir lime leaf. I leave the peanut butter out on mine but my husband loves it.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 (150 g) fish fillets (about 150g each I like to use Basa catfish or barramundi)
2 garlic, cloves crushed
2 teaspoons minced gingerroot
2 teaspoons chili paste (like sambal oelek- can also use fresh, alter to taste)
2 teaspoons chopped coriander (cilantro)
1 tablespoon lime juice
salt
1 tablespoon peanut butter (this will make enough for 2 fish, halve if only one of you wants peanut butter) (optional)

Steps:

Mix all marinade ingredients except peanut butter in a small bowl or cup. Taste to check for seasoning.
If you are adding the peanut butter, add it to the mix and stir to create a thick paste.
Spread over frozen or fresh fish fillets.
Put fillets onto a plate with a microwave cover or place them in a shallow covered container (but make sure a little of the steam can escape). If fish are frozen, cook on high for at least 6-7 minutes (depending on thickness of fish). If thawed, about 4-5 minutes should be sufficient. This will change depending on your microwave so do check the fish by checking the colour in the centre of the fillet (it should be opaque).
Serve with rice and a crisp salad.
