Cá Chẽm Hấp Xì Dầu

Cá Chẽm Hấp Xì Dầu is a flavorful Vietnamese steamed fish dish, delicately infused with aromatic soy sauce and herbs. This dish showcases the tender texture of the fish, complemented by a savory sauce that embodies the essence of Vietnamese cuisine.

Ingredients

• Barramundi fish fillet - 300 grams
• Soy sauce - 60 ml
• Ginger - 10 grams, sliced
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Spring onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Coriander - 10 grams, for garnish
• Lemon - 1, juiced
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Chili - 1, sliced (optional)

Steps

1. Prepare the fish fillet by rinsing it under cold water and patting it dry with paper towels.
2. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, black pepper, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
3. Place the fish fillet in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
4. Set up a steamer pot with water and bring it to a boil. Place the marinated fish on a heatproof plate and scatter the chopped spring onions and sliced chili on top.
5. Once the water is boiling, carefully place the plate with the fish in the steamer. Cover and steam for about 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Remove the plate from the steamer, garnish with fresh coriander, and serve hot with steamed rice or vegetables.
