Authentic Chinese Steamed Fish

Welcome to Day 5 of cooking 15 Minute Dinners for 15 Days! Chinese Steamed Fish is a dish that I always order when I go to seafood restaurants; I was surprised when I found out how easy it was to make it at home! In less than 15 minutes, you can prepare a delicious, authentic Chinese Steamed Fish recipe where you will for sure impress all your guests. 

What Fish To Use For Steamed Fish?

I am using Black Cod today, but this recipe works with whatever type of fish you prefer. If you are using just filets without bone, it should take less than 8 minutes to cook. I will often steam a whole fish if I am serving guests. Just steam an extra 5-7 minutes longer depending on the size of the fish.

Chinese Streamed Fish is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy your fish. For those that are Keto, feel free to substitute sugar with Monk Sugar. You can find Monk Sugar at Costco or Amazon.

How To Make Chinese Steamed Fish
