Healthy Recipe for Diabetes - Steamed Fish


Ingredients     (Serves 4)

2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon grated lime zest
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
4 tilapia fillets (5 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon cornstarch blended with 1 tablespoon water

Directions:
1    Combine ginger, garlic, lime zest, and 1/4 cup of cilantro in a small bowl. Lay fillets skinned side up on work surface and sprinkle with salt and cilantro mixture. Fold fillets in half. Drizzle sesame oil over folded fish and place fish on heatproof plate.
2    Place cake rack in a skillet large enough to hold plate of fish and add water to just fall short of cake rack. Cover and bring to a simmer.
3    Carefully place plate of fish on rack over simmering water. Cover and steam until cooked through, about 5 minutes. With slotted spatula, transfer fish to a platter and cover loosely to keep warm.
4    Pour cooking liquids from the plate used for steaming into a small saucepan. Add lime juice and water and bring to a boil. Stir in cornstarch mixture and cook, stirring, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup cilantro. Pass sauce at the table in a small serving bowl.
