Ingredients:
1 (1 lb) skinless fillet red snapper
salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
1 green onion, thinly sliced
2 thai chiles or 2 serrano chilies, seeded and cut into very thin strips
1 grated lime, zest of
2 teaspoons fish sauce
cilantro leaf (to garnish)
lime wedge
Directions:
1. Arrange a steamer basket or cake rack in a large wok or deep skillet and add enough water to reach just below the rack; set aside.
2. Place fish on a large piece of oiled parchment paper and season with salt. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger, green onions and chiles and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute. Stir in lime zest and fish sauce and cook for about 10 seconds more. Pour mixture over fish and wrap up parchment paper snugly to form a packet.
