Thai style Steamed Fish With Garlic, Lime, and Chilies is one of my favorite ways to steam fresh fish. This is a “must order” dish for me when I dine at any of my favorite Thai food restaurants that has it in their menu. The fish is usually served whole; but, here I have opted to use Barramundi fillets instead. This is a quick dish to prepare, it will take less than 20 minutes from prep, cook, to serve! Just make sure you have some steamed rice to go with it. Enjoy.

I love this type of steam fish and just the title is making my mouth water. I would add shredded lime leaves and thinly sliced lemongrass with my version.
ReplyDeleteI'm only just starting to play around with different ways to prepare fish, so I'll be giving this one a try soon enough. The thought of using Bird’s Eye Chilies is what sold me on this recipe. love the heat.
ReplyDeleteI really love this recipe! I'm definitely going to try it tonight! :)
