Breath of the Wild #12: Steamed Fish

Ingredients: Any Fish, Any Vegetable, Flower, or Herb

Description: "A refined dish made by wrapping a fresh fish in fragrant wild greens and cooking it."


Oooh look at that, i bought boneless fish fillets! Good on me! For steamed fish i decided to go for a fairly iconic dish that sprung to mind, thai style sea bass.


I place the fish fillets in the steam bowl with a pinch of sugar, lemongrass, and a dash of soy sauce and rice vinegar.


And then i finely mince garlic, coriander, chillies and cut some lime wedges. I also have some frozen chopped spring onions.


And ive just thrown it all on top. Is that too much seasoning? well its gotta be fresh, fragrant and wild. 


Unlike the meat im gonna cover this up with a silicon lid so it doesnt get too much added water as i steam it, i don't wanna turn it into a broth.


***

A "refined dish" it says, well.. it doesn't look as much like the graphic this way, but its much easier to eat. The fish is light and satisfying, but its all a little too bitter, i think i used too much lime juice. Or the limes i bought weren't that good. I definitely recommend doing something a bit like this, but more garlic, salt and sugar, less lime, and maybe just pan fry or grill it on a tray.
