1 pound white fish fillets (e.g., cod, snapper, or tilapia)
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce

👩🍳 Directions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Steaming Setup:
Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil.
Place a steaming basket or rack over the pot.
2️⃣ Season the Fish:
Lightly season the fish fillets with salt and pepper.
Place the fillets on a heatproof plate that fits inside the steaming basket.
3️⃣ Add Aromatics:
Scatter the ginger slices and minced garlic evenly over the fish.
4️⃣ Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and lime zest.
Pour this mixture evenly over the fish fillets.

Carefully place the plate into the steaming basket. Cover the pot with a lid and steam for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Remove the plate carefully from the steamer.
Sprinkle the fish with green onions, red chili slices (if using), and fresh cilantro leaves.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or a side of fresh vegetables.
