Steamed plaice with ginger and soy
Item 1 of 1
Andrew MacKenzie's quick and healthy steamed plaice recipe pairs the flat fish with fragrant ginger and Thai basil, and benefits from the gentle heat of a steam oven. If using a regular oven, add a dash of fish stock to the bag before sealing, and cook at around 180°C for 10-15 minutes.
