Instructions
- Fill up the steamer.
- Place the pan in the perforated pan and place a few savoy cabbage leaves down. Place the lid on and heat until the cabbage begins to steam.
- Season the inside and outside of the fish with salt and pepper.
- Stuff the cavity of the fish with lemon slices.
- Once the steamer is steaming, slice the fish onto the cabbage, place the lid on, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until cooked through.
- While the fish is cooking, add the ginger, garlic, soy, rice wine, rice wine vinegar, fish sauce, and sugar to a bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- When the fish is done cooking, remove it from the steamer and place it on a serving platter. Garnish with peppers, onions, green onions, cucumber, cilantro, and sauce.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: This recipe is meant to be eaten right away. However, you can make it up to 30 minutes ahead of time. Keep it warm before serving.
- How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will freeze covered for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 1 day before reheating.
- How to Reheat: Add the desired number of snapper to a sheet tray lined with parchment paper and cook in the oven at 350° for 5-7 minutes or until warmed.
- I like to add cabbage leaves or parchment paper to the steamer basket to help prevent the fish from sticking.
- You can use a perforated pan inside of a deeper pan with a lid to make a steamer. It can cook in the oven or on the stovetop.
