This fragrant and healthy dish is ready in a flash, but you do need a steamer and a large frying pan (or two smaller frying pans).

Method


  1. For the ginger and lime sauce, heat a frying pan and add the oil. Once hot, add the shallots and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, lemongrass and lime leaf and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. Stir in the fish sauce, palm sugar, rice wine vinegar, lime juice and stock and cook for 2-3 minutes. Keep warm while you cook the fish and vegetables.

  2. For the turbot, heat a large frying pan and add the oil, once hot add the fish skin-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side and allow to rest on a warm plate. (Depending on the size of your frying pan you may need to cook the fish in batches.)

  3. For the steamed greens, place a steamer over a saucepan of boiling water and add the bok choi, broccoli, ginger, lemongrass, sesame oil and soy sauce. Cover with a lid and cook for 4-5 minutes.

  4. Just before serving add the fresh mint and coriander to the sauce.

  5. To serve, place the steamed vegetables in the centre of shallow bowls and place the fish on top. Remove the skin and pour over the ginger and lime sauce.
