Authentic Thai recipe for Steamed Sea Bass with Chili, Lime, and Garlic

ปลากะพงนึ่งมะนาว (Plah Kapong Neung Manao)

Cooking a Thailand-style steamed fish for dinner is quite easy to do, and it is a very healthy way to prepare fish. For this recipe we use the Barramundi, or Asian Sea Bass. It has a solid white meat and delicious texture that does very well when steamed. The salsa topping is made with mild or hot red chilies, lots of garlic, chopped cilantro, and fresh lime juice.
