Rub some salt over the fish and place the fish nicely onto the steaming plate. Arrange all the main ingredients nicely around and on the fish. Place ginger slices inside the fish’s tummy.

After you place all the main ingredients neatly onto the steaming plate, add the liquid ingredients in. Steam for 20mins :)

After 20mins, the fish is ready to be served! So easy and fuss-free really!
