Method
-
Step 1
Combine ginger, turmeric, garlic, tamari, lime juice and olive oil in a bowl. For a smoother paste, I love using my mortar which combines the ingredients perfectly.
-
Step 2
Fold in the finely chopped coriander root.
-
Step 3
Add the fish fillet and coat well.
-
Step 4
Wrap the fish individually using baking paper, foil or banana leaf. Make sure it is really well sealed into a lovely neat little pocket.
-
Step 5
Steam the fish for 10 minutes until cooked through and remove from the heat.

Step 6
Serve immediately with your choice salad or vegetables.
-
Step 7
Vegetarians can use organic silken tofu or tempeh in place of the fish.
