Ingredients:
- 4 white fish fillets (e.g., cod or snapper)
- 2 limes (juice and zest)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 red chili, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger

Instructions:
- Prepare the Fish:
- Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Make the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, combine lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and grated ginger. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Marinate the Fish:
- Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over them, ensuring even coating. Let the fish marinate for 15-20 minutes.
- Steam the Fish:
- Transfer the marinated fish to a steaming dish, including the marinade. Sprinkle the sliced chili and half of the chopped cilantro on top.
- Steam the fish in a preheated steamer for 10-12 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
