Thai Steamed Fish with Lime and Garlic

Steamed Fish with Lime and Garlic

Welcome to Day 18 of Cooking 20 Minute Dinner for 21 Days! Today we are making a Thai inspired recipe, Steamed Fish with Lime and Garlic. The perfectly Steamed Fish is coated in a sour, garlicky, spicy, and slightly sweet sauce. Since it is packed with fresh cilantro, it is also savory and refreshing at the same time! Steamed Fish with Lime and Garlic is perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner and is super easy to make at home. 

Steamed Fish with Lime and Garlic

When I visited Thailand a few years ago, one of the first meals I had was Steamed Fish with Lime and Garlic. Even though it was hot and humid outside, a steaming hot steam fish was the most refreshing thing I could ask for! The garlic and lime balanced each other out and but not overpowering where you can’t taste the fish’s freshness. Once I came back from my travels, I knew I wanted to recreate an easy and accessible version that’s perfect for a weeknight dinner. 

I am using two black cod pieces today since I love how fatty and rich it is; however, you can also use any other white fish of your choices, such as tilapia, red snapper, or barramundi. I am using just a filet today since I know not everyone has access to whole fish; however, you can also double the sauce and use a whole fish. 

Those who can’t handle the heat, skip the Thai Chili, and it will taste just as good. If you want a milder taste of the Thai Chili, you can also remove the seeds first, soak the Thai chili in water for 5 minutes, drain and add it to the sauce. Make sure to not rub your eyes after chopping up Thai chili; trust me, it hurts. 

Thai Steamed Fish with Lime and Garlic

10 cloves of Garlic (minced) 

6 tbsp of Fresh Lime Juice 

3-4 Thai Chili (chopped)

  2. In a bowl, mix warm chicken stock and sugar until sugar is fully dissolved 
  3. Add in minced garlic, chopped cilantro, chopped Thai chili, and fish sauce. 
  4. Once the fish is fully steamed, transfer the fish to another serving plate
  5. Drizzle the fish all over the fish and enjoy!

    This was so so so good. My husband is Cambodian, and he kept drooling and said it reminded him of a dish his grandmother makes. I omitted the chili peppers from the sauce so it wouldn’t kill my kids and just sprinkled a couple on top of the adult plates before pouring the sauce on top. Win-win. Thanks Tiffy!

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
