Ingredients
- 6garlic cloves, peeled
- 1inch piece ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
- 3small fresh chilies, stemmed and seeded or 1 teaspoon dried red chili flakes or to taste
- ½cup fresh cilantro leaves
- ½cup fresh mint leaves
- 1cup shredded dried coconut
- 3tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1tablespoon corn, grapeseed or other neutral oil
- Salt
- 1½ to 2pounds fillet of pomfret, pompano, mackerel, sole, flounder or sea bass
Preparation
- Step 1
Prepare a steamer with at least 2 inches of water on bottom. Combine garlic, ginger and chilies in a food processor, and grind to a paste. Add cilantro, mint and coconut, and pulse until mixture is nicely chopped but not pureed. Stir in lime juice, oil and salt. Taste, and adjust seasoning.
- Step 2
Season fish with salt, and put it on a plate or in a shallow bowl. Place in steamer. Top with herb paste, and steam for about 15 minutes or until fish is done. (A thin-bladed knife will meet little or no resistance when it is done.) Serve immediately.

Made the sauce/paste with chicken. Was good, but probably better as per recipe. Wonderful summery flavor
I did not want to deal with steaming, so I cooked the fish en papillote in the oven (400° for 15 minutes). The seasoning made a very tasty treatment for cod.
This is delicious! I used Ling Cod which worked very well and served it with Cucumber Raita, Basmati Pullao and Spinach Paneer. I will definitely make it again...
