This recipe will tell you the simplest way to steam fish.

1.2kg whole snapper, gutted and scaled
1 lemon, thinly sliced
4cm piece ginger, thinly sliced, plus 1 tbs finely grated ginger
¾ cup (180ml) teriyaki sauce
¾ cup (180ml) mirin
¼ cup (60ml) rice vinegar
2 tbs soy sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
3 Lebanese cucumbers, cut into wedges
200g podded edamame beans, thawed
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup mint, thinly sliced, plus extra to serve
Toasted sesame seeds & chilli flakes, to serve

Method

1.

Rinse fish inside and out and pat dry. Make 4-5 slashes each side. Stuff cavity with lemon and sliced ginger. Place in an oven dish and pour teriyaki sauce over. Rub it into slashes and turn fish to coat. Leave at room temperature for 30 minutes, turning once.
2.

Preheat oven to 220°C. Cut 2 sheets of foil to 30cm x 70cm. Place, overlapping, on bench. Cut 2 sheets of baking paper the same size, place on foil, then place fish in the centre. Bring up sides of foil and paper to form a loose parcel (so steam can circulate), partially fold edges over to seal, pour the teriyaki sauce in through the gap, then seal completely. Bake for 40 minutes or until fish is just cooked. Rest for 5 minutes.
3.

For dressing, simmer mirin, vinegar and grated ginger in a saucepan for 4-5 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in soy and sesame oil and cool.
4.

Place fish on a platter. Mix cucumber, edamame, onion, mint and dressing in a bowl, toss to coat and spoon onto snapper. Scatter with sesame and chilli flakes.
