Easy Asian-Style Low Fat Microwave Steamed Fish - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 (150 g) fish fillets (about 150g each I like to use Basa catfish or barramundi)
    2 garlic, cloves crushed
    2 teaspoons minced gingerroot
    2 teaspoons chili paste (like sambal oelek- can also use fresh, alter to taste)
    2 teaspoons chopped coriander (cilantro)
    1 tablespoon lime juice
    salt
    1 tablespoon peanut butter (this will make enough for 2 fish, halve if only one of you wants peanut butter) (optional)
Preparation
    Mix all marinade ingredients except peanut butter in a small bowl or cup. Taste to check for seasoning.
    If you are adding the peanut butter, add it to the mix and stir to create a thick paste.
    Spread over frozen or fresh fish fillets.
    Put fillets onto a plate with a microwave cover or place them in a shallow covered container (but make sure a little of the steam can escape). If fish are frozen, cook on high for at least 6-7 minutes (depending on thickness of fish). If thawed, about 4-5 minutes should be sufficient. This will change depending on your microwave so do check the fish by checking the colour in the centre of the fillet (it should be opaque).
    Serve with rice and a crisp salad.
