Michael Angelakis shows Michael Keelan how to cook leatherjackets in the Thai steamed fish style. From Out-of-the-Blue, season 2021, episode 13. Recipe by Michael Angelakis

As seen on: Out of the Blue (Season 2021: Episode 13)

Ingredients

  • 2 fish fillets
  • a small knob of ginger peeled and chopped
  • 1 small clove garlic chopped
  • 1 small red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
  • grated zest and juice of 1 lime
  • 3 baby bok choy, each quartered lengthways
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions

Nestle the fish fillets side by side on a large square of foil and scatter the ginger, garlic, chilli and lime zest over them. Drizzle the lime juice on top and then scatter the pieces of bok choy around and on top of the fish. Pour the soy sauce over the bok choy and loosely seal the foil to make a package, making sure you leave space at the top for the steam to circulate as the fish cooks.

Steam for 15 minutes. (If you haven’t got a steamer, put the parcel on a heatproof plate over a pan of gently simmering water, cover with a lid and steam).
