Thai-style Steamed Fish

Super-quick post after yesterday's many-dish marathon: another off-the-cuff weeknight supper inspired by the awesome BBC Good Food website. Didn't know what I felt like but wanted something clean and healthy. The Boyfriend gets grumpy about too many vegan dinners so fish feels like a good compromise. Somehow.

2 fillets white fish (I used cod but I think something with more flavour would work better)
4 spring onions, finely sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled and finely chopped
1 red or green chilli (or a mix of both) finely chopped
2 tbsp soy sauce
zest and juice of 1/2 lime
1 tsp sesame oil

1. Get a BIG piece of foil and place the fish in the middle.
2. Sprinkle the other ingredients over the top.
3. Seal up the parcel leaving lots of room at the top for steam to circulate.
4. Cook in a steamer for 15 minutes.
5. Serve with brown rice and your choice of greens (I did pak choi and broccoli).

You might like more lime. You might like a bit of honey for sweetness. You might like more or less of the ingredients above. It doesn't matter they're just the basic structure so jiggle till it's right for you: it's all yummy.
