Fresh, fragrant, and full of flavor, this Cantonese-style steamed white fish recipe from our Director of Data Science & Analytics, Crystal Lee, represents the quintessential qualities of Cantonese cuisine. “Fish is very important to Cantonese people in particular because, for example, Hong Kong used to be a fishing village before it became a financial supercenter,” she added.
Crystal’s recipe for steamed Pacific cod is adapted from a classic Lunar New Year dish traditionally served to celebrate this holiday. “For Lunar New Year, we usually steam whole fish with a preparation that is simple so you can really enjoy the flavor of the fish itself,” she explained. Using fillets of Pacific cod makes this an incredibly quick meal that you can make anytime, and it’s done in under 20 minutes.
