Special occasion

Used the Pearl River Bridge seasoned soy sauce for seafood in the sauce, and steamed in a Le creuset braiser by setting the fish on a row of green onions and a little ginger with a splash of water. Drained the water before adding the sauce and served in the braiser. Came out beautifully.

Didn't use cilantro, because I don't like. And I didn't have spring onion. But it was amazing anyway ☺️ my first steamed fish!
