A delightful and healthy steamed fish recipe infused with aromatic herbs and paired with colorful vegetables.
Make diagonal cuts into the fish fillets, ensuring not to cut all the way through.
This allows the flavors to penetrate the fish more effectively.
Insert a basil leaf into each cut on the fish.
Ensure the basil leaves are fresh for maximum aroma.
Rub the fish fillets with minced garlic and ginger.
Use a fine grater for the garlic and ginger to evenly distribute the flavors.
Place the bell pepper slices and asparagus spears in the steamer basket.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Place the fish on top of the vegetables in the steamer basket.
Layering the fish on top allows the juices to flavor the vegetables.
Steam the fish and vegetables in a saucepan with boiling water for 6-8 minutes, covered.
Check the fish for doneness by ensuring it flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the steamed fish and vegetables on a plate and enjoy.
Garnish with additional fresh basil leaves for a vibrant presentation.
