Thai Fish Skewers

July 10, 2013 7:41 pm / 1 Comment / Trudy

I have an abundance of Kaffir Lime leaves so I need to do a few more recipes with them.  I did the Lindt chocolate the other day which was different, I just love the aroma and flavour they give to all sorts of things.  As you can see from clicking on the chocolate recipe it doesn’t just have to be Thai.

For people who need to lower their cholesterol steam cooking without any added fat is the perfect appliance to try to conquer this issue.  We should all try to increase our intake of fish, cut back on fatty, saturated fats, increase vegetables and eat lots of grains.

Try to marinade for about 1/2 hour.  Don’t leave it too much longer than this because the lime juice will start to cook the fish.

Thai fish skewersIngredients:

600g firm white fish fillets
1 tablespoon of chopped coriander roots, leaves and stalks
1 teaspoon of grated ginger
1 finely chopped small chilli, seeds removed
1 spring onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon of fish sauce
1 tablespoon of low salt soy sauce
1 tablespoon of lime juice + a little of the rind grated finely
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoons of palm sugar, grated or 1 tsp brown sugar
Black pepper

Method:

Trim fish and cut into 2cm cubes
Place all the other ingredients into a bowl, add fish, cover and refrigerate 1/2 hour.
Thread a Kaffir lime leaf onto a skewer, followed by some fish until you have required number of skewers.

Steam @ 90°C for 5 minutes or until fish is cooked when tested.  5 minutes was perfect, it just melted in your mouth.
Serve with Steamed Jasmine rice (or Brown rice if your being good), a lime cheek to squeeze over and some steamed green vegetables.  The fish gives you some nice juices which are fairly salty because of the marinade so don’t salt the rice for this dish.

So healthy!
