Steaming is a very healthy way to cook fish. The method retains ingredients' nutrients, and calories from fat are minimal since there's no need to use oil.

Oh, I loved this! The fish was cooked just perfectly at 7 minutes--I usually accidentally overcook fish so this was a delight. I agree that it needed some salt...I even sprinkled coarse kosher salt over it before cooking and still sprinkled more on at the table. I used a chinese bamboo steamer and it worked great! I'm sure it would be great with all kinds of vegetables. Thanks for posting . Made for PRMR Spring 2008.

    This is awesome! The asparagus was crisp-tender and the fish was well seasoned. I used Tilapia fillets and cooked this dish in my rice cooker/steamer. The timing was right on target. The fish was served on top of some leftover Pecan Rice which added the finishing touch. Something I will make again for sure.

    This is delicious! I used tilapia, and the mild flavor really complemented the ginger and garlic. I had to use a fresh basil paste instead of leaves, but my ginger and garlic were fresh. After scoring the fish, I simpley rubbed the basil, garlic, and ginger on together. The timing was perfect - 7 minutes spot on for everything. The asparagus was just crisp-tender, and the fish flaked easily but wasn't dry. We did need salt, as mentioned by another poster. I love how fast and easy this healthy dish is!!

    My husband and I enjoyed this, but we found it a little bland. Next time, I will sprinkle a bit of salt on the asparagus and maybe dot it with some Smart Balance or other margarine that has no trans fats. The fish, though, was excellent! We loved the fresh ginger, garlic, and basil flavors.
