Ingredients

• Cá Bớp fillet - 300 grams
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon, julienned
• Fresh cilantro - 10 grams, chopped
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Lemon - 1, juiced
• Fish sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Sea salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - 1 teaspoon
• Water - 500 milliliters

Steps

1. Prepare the Cá Bớp fillet by rinsing it under cold water and patting it dry with paper towels.
2. In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, ginger, lemon juice, fish sauce, black pepper, and sea salt to create a marinade.
3. Place the Cá Bớp fillet in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
4. While the fish is marinating, set up a steamer by bringing 500 ml of water to a boil in a pot.
5. Arrange the marinated Cá Bớp on a heatproof plate and sprinkle with chopped cilantro and green onions.
6. Once the water is boiling, place the plate with the fish into the steamer basket, cover it, and steam for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Carefully remove the plate from the steamer, drizzle with vegetable oil, and garnish with additional cilantro and green onions if desired. Serve immediately.
