Ingredients

    Instructions

    1. Season the Fish:

      • Lightly sprinkle the 2 sea bass fillets with the deseeded and finely chopped chili, grated ginger, and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
    2. Steam the Cabbage:

      • Place 300g finely shredded green cabbage in a steamer basket. Steam for 5 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still crisp.
    3. Add the Fish:

      • Carefully lay the seasoned fish fillets on top of the steamed cabbage in the steamer. Cover and steam for an additional 5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
    4. Prepare the Garlic Oil:

      • While the fish is steaming, heat a small pan over medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons sunflower oil and 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
      • Once hot, add the thinly sliced garlic cloves and sauté quickly, stirring constantly until the garlic turns golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
    5. Plate the Dish:

      • Once the fish and cabbage are cooked, transfer them to serving plates.
      • Drizzle each plate with 1 teaspoon low-salt soy sauce for added flavor.
    6. Finish with Garlic Oil:

      • Pour the fragrant garlicky oil over the fish and cabbage. This will add an extra layer of flavor and richness.
    7. Serve and Enjoy:

      • Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your delicious and healthy dish!
