There are three ways to steam your fish:

3. Make your own by placing a glass bowl inside a pot with water (Bain-marie) and cover with a lid.
In your steam basket: Place parchment paper or a salad leaf, then the marinated fish on top with a sprinkle of spring onions and ginger slices.
Place the steam basket on a pot of boiling water with some lime leaves , lemongrass and slices of ginger. (It will give an extra taste while steaming . ( instead of water you can use some beer , the outcome is magnificent TRY )
Steam the fish for 15 min ( it all depends on the weight of you fish between 90 -100 grams 15 min must be more than enough , to check you take a toothpick and stick in on the most thick part of the fish.
