Preparation:

 Step 1: Prepare the Steaming Setup

• Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
• Place a steaming basket or rack over the pot, ensuring it sits securely without touching the water.

 Step 2: Season the Fish

• Lightly season the fish fillets on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Place the seasoned fillets on a heatproof plate that fits comfortably inside the steaming basket.

 Step 3: Add Aromatics

• Evenly scatter the thinly sliced ginger and minced garlic over the fish fillets, ensuring the flavors are distributed.

 Step 4: Prepare the Sauce

• In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and lime zest until well combined.
• Pour this sauce mixture evenly over the fish, allowing it to seep into the fillets.

 Step 5: Steam the Fish

• Carefully place the prepared plate into the steaming basket.
• Cover the pot with a lid and steam the fish for 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

 Step 6: Garnish and Serve

• Once cooked, remove the plate carefully from the steamer using heatproof gloves or tongs.
• Garnish the fish with sliced green onions, red chili slices (if using), and a generous sprinkle of fresh cilantro leaves.
• Serve immediately with steamed rice or fresh vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
